Clinical situations	Indications
Selected ocular pathologies	Meibomian gland dysfunction
	Dry eye disease, esp. severe Sjögren's syndrome dry eye
	Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (to improve pain and local inflammation)
	Thygeson's superficial punctate keratopathy
	Atopic keratoconjunctivitis
	Epidemic adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis (to reduce the number of subepithelial deposits and recurrence rate)
	Corneal ulcer (to reduce inflammation and improve healing)
	Mooren's ulcer
	Herpes simplex keratitis
	Neurotrophic keratopathy
	Anterior uveitis, esp. not responding to corticosteroids
	Sympathetic ophthalmia
	Autoimmune uveitis NOS
Postoperative conditions	After cataract surgery (to minimise local inflammation in patients with primary and secondary dry eye syndrome)
	After pterygium surgery (to reduce the recurrence)
	After glaucoma surgery
	After corneal transplant (to prevent graft rejection, in high-risk grafts)
	After refractive surgery (to improve corneal sensation – nerve fibre repair)
