Steroids and glaucoma

[jolter604]

Ok so I went in for a eye exam and after about 15 minutes into it he tells me I have glaucoma and sent me for x-rays.

So after I get my X-rays he asks me if I had head trauma or if I ever used steroids.
This i thought was odd because I do not have any steroid use in my records.
He said even a inhaler can cause it if used too much.

Then I was confused because I never used a inhaler before.

I did Google it and steroids do cause it but it is far from being one of the top reasons.

Well at least I have another reason to smoke kush [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28] [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

Yeah, corticosteroids. Anabolics do not have that prob.

that's exactly what i was thinking and docs hand them shits out like candy even though the do tons of nasty shit to you. they help but damn if they arent harsh on the back end. kind of like antibiotics being great for getting rid of some things but destroying your guts up and screwing up digestion for months.

funny but not funny that happened to you but i had to hit the eye doc up last week myself. my left eye was red as hell and i douldnt stand to be in the light at all and was having trouble driving and doing damn near anything. so i was a little freaked out and went in when it didnt go away in a couple days. so i roll in and granted its the normal one i see and literally i am the only person not on the staff that isnt over 65. top that off after my first check from the nurse and into the next waiting area to see the actual doc, i am in there with 6 people all for glaucoma and cataracts. the dude next to me was a ww2 vet, that's how old these people were.

as for my situation, i had a nasty infection due to a condition i have where my eye lids produce to much oil which in turn gives me stis and now infections. it is brutal and very irritating to say the least

Re: Steroids and glaucoma

And I googled steroids and glaucoma and it does say it causes it.
Strange to me I never heard of this before.

Re: Steroids and glaucoma

So far I haven't had any issues like that, but I do have floaters. They totally suck and are irritating as hell. Especially if you're in a room with white walls, or looking at a white background. Even looking at the sky sucks. Thankfully, your brain has the wonderful ability to tune them out. After a while, you catch yourself not noticing them until you look at a bright background.

I talked to him and I am sure it's from head trauma when I was younger.
