Flonase And Cataracts (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Has anyone that has used Flonase got cataracts? I have them because of it and nasonex. Are there any class actions against the makers of this? I would not have used it if I had known.

My doctor said my cataracts were caused by a steroid and the only steroid I used was flonaise. I wish there would be a class action law suit to make people aware of this sideeffect and to make good on the trouble is caused my life.

I also am interested in a lawsuit, I was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes at age 40. I had surgery in 2008 which went fine, however doctors were all confused as to why I had cataracts because I had none of the commonly associated risk factors !
I had 20/20 vision before surgery, now in have to wear glasses (bifocals) for up close reading and work which has seriously affected my job! A lot of things I have problems doing at work. Also I am military and have problems deploying and they keep threatening to kick me out because I had the surgery! I just found out today about the connection to Flonase which I have been prescribed by several different doctors over the last few years.

I am 38 years old and recently diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. My eye doctor told me the kind I have are also from steroids. The only steroid I have ever used in my life is Flonase. I used it recently for 4 months after tear duct surgery. I am devastated. I think I was left on Flonase for entirely too long. I wonder if there is anything I can do legally??

I have gotten cataracts 0n both eyes and the only drug I have been using is Flonase. I have used it for a few years. I too would like to know if any lawyers are taking this case! I became blind at a pretty fast rate, and I am fairly young and healthy. My opthamologist told me the kind of cataracts I have are from steroids. Trouble is I am now almost blind and my insurance won't cover $5,000.00 of the surgery costs to have them removed. I make just enough money to live, without extra for operations like this. It is hard to find new jobs and extra work when you are blind. A year ago I could see. I wish I knew this was a side effect before I used the drug!!!!!

My eye surgeon said they were definately caused by steroids and the only one I have used is flonase. She said she could tell by the location of my cataracts, they are posterior and can only be caused by steroid use. If enough people have this kind, I would think it could be proven.

Have the doctors definitively tied your cataracts to the medications?

We have had other posts on here about vision issues developing from people using these types of medications.

The problem, however, is proving they are what caused it.

And no, I'm sorry, but I know of no class action suits in regards to this.
