Ophthalmic drug use has been an aspect of optometry for more than two decades. Although utilization of these drugs has produced significant changes in the clinical and legal responsibilities of optometrists, the liability posture of the profession has remained unaltered. Studies of malpractice claims against optometrists and ophthalmologists have demonstrated that ophthalmologists are much more likely to be charged with negligence for adverse drug reactions and that drug-related malpractice claims are not a liability issue for optometrists. Based on the experiences of both professions, this paper describes the adverse effects of common ophthalmic drugs, with emphasis on those drug reactions that have resulted in litigation.
二十多年来，眼科用药一直是验光配镜行业的一个方面。尽管这些药物的使用给验光师的临床和法律责任带来了重大变化，但该行业的责任状况仍未改变。针对验光师和眼科医生的医疗事故索赔研究表明，眼科医生因药物不良反应而被指控疏忽大意的可能性要大得多，而与药物相关的医疗事故索赔对验光师来说并不是一个责任问题。基于这两个行业的经验，本文描述了常见眼科药物的不良反应，重点是那些导致诉讼的药物反应。
