Some people, who are referred to as steroid responders, can have increased intraocular pressures in response to steroids regardless of the method of delivery. Early cataracts can also be a side effect of steroids. It is unlikely that a short duration of external steroids are going to be a problem. As always, if there are any concerns, a visit to the opphthalmologist is always a good idea.

Triamcinolone should not be used on eyelids. Fortunately, glaucoma and cataracts are relatively rare complications from topical steroids, but it depends on how much you applied and how long you have been doing it. To be safe, you should have your eyes examined by an ophthalmologist now, and at regular intervals in the future. A dermatologist can prescribe a safer cream for use on eyelids.
