Don't worry, nasal spray is quite safe, it should not affect your eyes. You can continue for 1 month.

Once a day spray for a month is not a very long time.
It only rarely causes side effects in your eyes.
So don't worry too much
Kindly get an online consultation to address all your concerns

It's a steroid spray. In susceptible individuals, it can cause an increase in eye pressure. You can get your eye pressure tested regularly. Continue nasal spray.
