The disclosure features ocular inserts for the sustained release of steroids in the treatment ocular conditions. Said ocular inserts are articles formed from a compound of formula D1-L-D2 (A-I), wherein D1 and D2 are steroid radicals selected from the group consisting of an antibiotic steroid, a glucocorticoid steroid, an anti-angiogenic steroid, an intraocular pressure lowering steroid, and a corticosteroid; and L is a linker covalently linking D1 to D2. The article is a fiber, fiber mesh, woven fabric, non- woven fabric, pellet, cylinder, microparticle, nanoparticle, or shaped article. Also disclosed are carbonate and carbonate ester linked dimers of corticosteroids linked at the 3-hydroxyl, the 11-hydroxyl, the 17-hydroxyl, or the 21-hydroxyl positions of the steroid.
