Loteprednol is considered a relatively mild corticosteroid compared to other steroids used in ophthalmology. It is specifically designed to reduce inflammation with a lower risk of causing significant side effects, such as increased intraocular pressure, which is more common with stronger steroids. Its targeted action makes it effective for treating conditions like allergic conjunctivitis and post-surgical inflammation in the eyes.
