Even 2 to 4 weeks usage of steroids can increase Eye pressure in steroid responders ............ 7 years is a long time and can cause damage if not diagnosed in time No self medication with steroids should be done and if you have to take then due to any medical condition, you must check eyes with an Eye doc to rule out steroid responsiveness
