Only some types of eye drops for dry eyes (artificial tears) contain steroids.
The information leaflet that comes with eye drops that contain steroids may or may not mention the term "steroids" or "corticosteroids" - and if not - it should certainly mention the exact steroid, for example:
- fluocinolone
- loteprednol
- dexamethasone
- fluorometholone
- prednisolone
For more examples check ophthalmic steroids on drugs.com.
