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

Hey Jolter604,
I'm not a medical professional so take my advice with a grain of salt but glaucoma is usually a more serious issue for senor citizens. If you're younger or even mid life then I'd seek a second opinion on this. I've been misdiagnosed several times and since then I always get a second opinion especially if it's something serious. Many of these doctors and eye specialists may be trying to up sell you products or services. If your vision is normal or you feel fine then I'd definitely seek another doctor.

Well at least I have another reason to smoke kush

Haha, or just self medicate.
