Blurred vision

I have been using an inhaler for asthma twice a day for some time. Now I hear that it can cause blurred vision and cataracts. I do have blurred long distance vision which is annoying . Can anyone help ?

Have you seen an optometrist? If not then make an appointment at your opticians. If over 60 you should get a free eye test.

I agree with Nanaedake. If your inhaler contains corticosteroids, prolonged use may be causing cataracts to start. "It's like fertilizer for them", said my ophthalmologist. Best to get your eyes checked and do mention you use of an inhaler during your consultation.
