Graves Disease and cortisone shots?

I have to have cortisone shots to my low back and I have Graves Disease. Will the shots be ok to have or will they affect my eyes?

I have graves disease and have gotten countless cortisone shots. I did not have any issues. In fact I had one done about 2 months ago.

I have had them on my knee, shoulders, elbows, hips within the last 3 years.
