Eye dr. prescribed me blephamide eye drop for complete year 12 refills. dr.said this is high risk medication. what does it mean to say that?

Steroid containing : This prescription duration seems rather excessive to me. I don't know your diagnosis, but if an Eye MD is prescribing Blephamide™ for this duration, he/she better carefully manage your condition and frequently assess your vision, eye pressure, and treatment area. The medication contains prednisolone(steroid) and sulfacetamide (antibiotic). Glaucoma, cataracts, infections are some of the risks
