A member asked:
Will steroid injection into the knees make dry eyes worse?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It shouldn't: While some of the steroid from a knee injection can have a more systemic(widespread) affect, than on just the knee. It wouldn't commonly exacerbate dry eyes. In fact for some forms of inflammatory dry eyes, it could make it better!
