Abstract Ocular diseases are those diseases that affect the eyes, according to recent data, globally 2.2 billion people have vision impairment and half of them have a type which was preventable or is yet to be addressed. Ocular diseases are categorised into two types on the basis of their target regions in the eyes: Anterior segment ocular diseases that affect the anterior portion of the eye which includes the cornea, iris, ciliary body and lens, such as dry eye, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, cataract, glaucoma etc & Posterior segment eye diseases that affect the retina, choroid and optic nerve such as optic neuritis, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, intravenous haemorrhage etc. While some types are milder ones that do not cause much harm to the eyes, many of these pose serious threats which may also include the permanent loss of vision along with other complications such as damage to the optic nerve, deformation of lens, damage to the retina etc. Uveitis is a rare disease that affects the uvea part of the eye, its possible causes include infection injury or an autoimmune or inflammatory disease, in a paediatric case study extraocular Staphylococcus aureus infection was shown to have triggered the reactivation of autoimmune ocular inflammation thereby causing autoimmune uveitis. Hence, there is ongoing research to come out with solutions that could help to treat or prevent this disease. Oxazolidinones are a class of drugs that treat bacterial infections, its first compound is Linezolid which was approved by FDA in 1999. It targets diseases caused by gram-positive bacteria, it works by inhibiting the process of translation after binding to the rRNA. Several other drugs are available worldwide whose potential effects for other diseases apart from the ones that they mainly treat are yet to be discovered.
