What kind of Glaucoma do you have? If Open Angle there is rarely a problem but worth discussing with your consultant. There can be more of a problem is you have narrow angles.
I have open angle Glaucoma and possibly exercise induced asthma (or something similar). However, I am a steroid reactor, i.e. steroids increase my eye pressure, so I avoid them and just manage my breathing as best I can. I can for example take anti-histamine without problem.
Yes me. I get what you are saying. Had massive attack last year and 5 days in hospital. Mass steroids. Already steroid responder from steroids from uveitis hence developing glaucoma but what's the option+
