Ocular Inflammation and Pain Overview
Ocular pain refers to discomfort in or around the eye, ranging from mild irritation to severe, sharp, or burning sensations. It can result from surface problems such as dry eye, infections, or corneal abrasions; inflammatory conditions like uveitis or scleritis; injuries or trauma; increased intraocular pressure as seen in glaucoma; or referred pain from nearby structures. While many cases are mild and treatable, ocular pain can sometimes signal serious eye disease, making prompt evaluation important.
Eye inflammation can result from infections, allergies, autoimmune conditions, irritation, injury, or trauma affecting the eye, eyelids, or surrounding tissues. Depending on the cause, different parts of the eye may be involved. It is a common condition that can occur at any age, with duration and treatment varying based on the underlying disorder and its severity. While most cases respond well to treatment, in rare instances inflammation may signal a more serious disease that threatens vision, making early diagnosis essential.
Ocular Inflammation and Pain Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithm
Diagnosis of ocular pain and inflammation involves a detailed patient history, clinical examination, and specialized tests to identify the underlying cause. History includes onset, duration, associated symptoms (redness, vision changes, discharge, and photophobia), systemic conditions, trauma, or medication use. Clinical evaluation typically involves slit-lamp examination, fundoscopy, and measurement of intraocular pressure. Depending on suspected etiology, additional tests may include ocular surface staining, tonometry, optical coherence tomography (OCT), ultrasound biomicroscopy, or laboratory and imaging studies to detect infections, autoimmune diseases, or systemic associations. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to guide targeted treatment, relieve symptoms, and prevent vision-threatening complications.
Treatment of ocular pain and inflammation focuses on symptom relief, inflammation control, and complication prevention. First-line therapy includes topical corticosteroids (prednisolone, dexamethasone) and NSAID drops (ketorolac, nepafenac). Severe or refractory cases may require systemic corticosteroids. For post-surgical cases, FDA-approved sustained-release implants like DEXTENZA are used. Supportive care (artificial tears, cold compresses, analgesics) helps manage symptoms, while infections require targeted antimicrobial therapy before or alongside anti-inflammatories.
The epidemiology section of the ocular inflammation and pain market report offers information on the patient populations, including historical and projected trends for each of the seven major markets. Examining key opinion leader views from physicians or clinical experts can assist in identifying the reasons behind historical and projected trends. The diagnosed patient pool, their trends, and the underlying assumptions are all included in this section of the report.

Marketed Ocular Inflammation and Pain Drugs
DEXTENZA (dexamethasone ophthalmic insert): Ocular Therapeutix
DEXTENZA is a corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of ocular pain following ophthalmic surgery. DEXTENZA is inserted into the lower lacrimal punctum into the canaliculus by the physician following ophthalmic surgery. A single DEXTENZA releases a 0.4 mg dose of dexamethasone for up to 30 days following insertion. DEXTENZA is preservative free, resorbable and does not require removal. Saline irrigation or manual expression can be performed to remove the insert, if necessary.
In June 2019, Ocular Therapeutix announced that the FDA approved a Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for DEXTENZA (0.4 mg Dexamethasone Intracanalicular Insert for Ophthalmic Use) for the treatment of ocular inflammation following ophthalmic surgery.
BYQLOVI (Clobetasol Propionate Ophthalmic Suspension): Formosa Pharmaceuticals
BYQLOVI is an FDA-approved ophthalmic steroid, specifically clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension 0.05%, indicated for managing post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery.
In March 2024, Formosa Pharmaceuticals and AimMax Therapeutics received FDA approval for Clobetasol Propionate Ophthalmic Suspension 0.05% for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery.
Emerging Ocular Inflammation and Pain Drugs
The Ocular Inflammation and Pain market is expected to evolve gradually, driven by the limited number of emerging therapies currently in development. Key players such as OCS-01, by Oculis among others are showing active commitment to addressing this unmet need, with ongoing efforts to advance novel treatment options for this complex condition.
OCS-01: Oculis
OCS-01, an OPTIREACH formulation of high concentration dexamethasone eye drop, designed to be the first once-daily, preservative-free steroid for treating inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. The OPTIREACH solubilizing technology enhances lipophilic drug solubility, prolongs eye surface retention, and improves delivery to both anterior and posterior eye segments, allowing less frequent dosing
In April 2024, Oculis announced the presentation of positive Phase III OPTIMIZE-1 trial results for OCS-01 in treating inflammation and pain after cataract surgery at the 2024 ASCRS Annual Meeting.

"For the most common form, anterior uveitis, treatment typically involves topical corticosteroids and cycloplegic agents. Steroid therapy should be tapered based on clinical response to reduce the risk of rebound inflammation. Follow-up appointments are important to assess inflammation resolution and to monitor intraocular pressure (IOP), as prolonged steroid use can lead to a sudden increase in IOP."
"Ocular neuropathic pain is a critical condition to recognize, as it is frequently misdiagnosed because its symptoms closely resemble those of dry eye disease. The mismatch between clinical signs and patient-reported symptoms can lead to patients being dismissed or labeled as malingering, hysterical, or psychosomatic. In severe cases, documented reports indicate that the intensity of chronic pain has even driven some patients to suicide."
"In patients with ocular neuropathic pain, symptoms can be intense despite minimal observable signs, leading to its description as corneal pain without stain or phantom cornea. This condition is considered the ocular equivalent of complex regional pain syndrome, systemic neuropathic pain, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy."
