Typically not, as this is not an inflammatory condition. The goal is to provide supportive care with aggressive lubrication and pain control with topical cycloplegics until epithelial regeneration occurs.

Can also add topical NSAIDs for comfort, but essentially 'drown' the eye with lubricants/emycin ointment and dilate for additional pain control.
