As per the eye specialist, many eye drops contain steroids. Their long use causes increased pressure in the eyes. By increasing pressure, the optic nerve gets damaged and the patient becomes a victim of glaucoma. If it is detected in the early days, it can be stopped. Once the eyesight has gone due to glaucoma then there is no cure yet to bring it back. Apart from this there are several side effects of steroids mixed eye drops.
Nearly three lakhs of glaucoma patients in India have been registered. Often eye surgery also increases the risk of glaucoma. Pressure on the eyes increases if does not pay attention after surgery, which invites glaucoma. If you have any kind of surgery or have any wounds in the eyes, keeps it checking from time to time. Although the number of such patients is low, but still no risk should be taken.

If there is pain in the head and stomach, then do not take any medication yourself. Contact the doctor immediately. Eat more nutritious ingredients such as almonds, milk, orange juice, melons, eggs, soybean milk, peanuts etc.
