Nasal spray

I read somewhere that continued use of nasal spray can cause cataracts. I use nasal spray for allergies but not continuously. Still concerned, how much is too much to be using this? I know some people who use nasal spray 2X a day for allergies. Your thoughts?

  1. This is a good question for your doctor. From what I have read the risk of developing cataracts from the use of steroid nose sprays is small. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6320292/. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader
