Abstract
The present invention relates to a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of eye diseases or conditions that allows for the delivery of corticosteroids to the eye's surface but does not cause any of the usual side effects associated with topical administration of corticosteroids. More specifically, the present invention provides methods of treatment involving the administration of a corticosteroid prodrug, such as dexamethasone palmitate, to the surface of the eye. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and kits for carrying out such methods of treatment.
