Can the steroid be removed from the corner of my eye?My eye is sensitive and worry about the process.Can I lose my eye site with the removal of steroid because it caused the pressure in my eye to rise when I was tested.nin77ca

Yes, but I would not.  It has to be cut out.

Pressure elevation can usually be controlled with medications.
