Abstract
Aim - : To evaluate whether short-term nasal steroid therapy is associated with any adverse effects on IOP.
Materials and methods :A prospective study was done in a tertiary care Hospital with 70 patients.
Results : 67.14% (47patients ) showed no change in IOP after short term use of inhalational steroids .
Conclusion :Short-term use of nasal steroids appears to be safe regarding IOP levels.
