Steroid responder: Some people respond to steroids when taking systemically or locally as an eye drop or inhaler, The response in the eye is an increase in the ocular pressure. Discontinuing the steroid will usually solve the problem,however,a drop to lower the pressure is sometimes necessary to lower the pressure. Steroids should be avoided if possible.
