I see. thanks for replying. but for the past 1 year i am not really compliant to the nasal spray treatment because i always forgot to take it. So is the past 1 year of my nasal spray considered a risk for cataract and glaucoma? thanks
Any steroid used for extended periods of time say 5=6 months can cause cataracts (common) and glaucoma (uncommon unless steroid eye drops). If you can get by without steroids great, otherwise studies have shone that chronic nasal steroids does increase risk of cataracts even in young people. You need to discuss risk of cataracts vs risk of stopping the spray with the doctor that prescribed it.
