Depends which steroids you are taking, and the dose you are on. I have osteoporosis, caused by steroids as well as eosophogitis, where they caused acid reflux which has burned through my esophagus.

Hi lazyblue - are you taking Prednisolone? Also what is your dose? I currently take 6mg of Pred daily which doesn't cause too many issues. Regardless of dose, you should always get your eyes checked every 6 months.
