Drug‐Induced Periocular and Ocular Surface Disorders: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, Volume 80, Issue 11, Page 2953-2972, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Various systemic and topical medications can induce ocular and periocular cutaneous adverse effects (AEs), ranging from mild to severe. These AEs may lead to ocular surface (OS) damage and, in some cases, life‐threatening complications. Drug‐induced ocular adverse reactions are generally classified into two primary categories: toxic reactions ...
