    All of those steroids you mentioned (Inhaled Steroids, Prednisone, etc.) are Corticosteroids, not Anabolic Steroids.

    Completely different effects on the body.

    It's probably related to high blood pressure that often comes with steroid use. My Opthomologist also mentioned this. Something we should all think of when getting eyes examined.

    How is that possible? Corticosteroids such as cortisone and such decrease edema and inflammation, etc... You're wrong on that point.
