İ.Ü. Cerrahpaşa Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları A.D.
The diseases associated with immune system directly or indirectly have a significant importance in ophthalmology practice. The therapeutics affecting immune system partially or completely are used in the treatment of these disorders. Cytotoxic immunsupressive drugs have a general effect; supressing cellular production and maturation. They also affect the immune system. Non-cytotoxic immunsupressive drugs affect immune system particularly. Al these drugs also have some important adverse effects and should be followed up carefully. Keywords :
