In December I was diagnosed w/ cataracts in both eyes (I'm only 54). Two days ago I heard an ad on TV for Nasonex & it mentioned cataracts were a possible side effect. I used Nasonex for a few months a couple of years ago & I just bet it's the culprit behind my eye problems. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

I was 24 when I found out I have cataracts. I have not had the money or insurance to get them fixed, so my vision has gotten worse, and glasses don't help. I used Flonase for several years before finding out that I had cataracts and just found out that Flonase can cause them! I would participate in a lawsuit.

I used Nasonex as a young child for my allergies , I was diagnosed with a cataract several years ago (I'm only 30 now) and DID have corrective surgery at great cost. The eye doctor asked if I had ever used steroids, and I said no, not thinking of even mentioning Nasonex.... I'd certainly participate in a class action suit if one was brought

Same here. Used Nasonex and Advair. Then I had surgery to remove the cataracts, which led to Glaucoma and two retinal detachments. I now have to use 8 drops each day.

Yeah, I had fast growing cataracts after a couple years of Nasanex, which led to removal and lens replacement, which led to two detachments and two tears. It's probably not over for me. I got the cataracts in my late 40's , and surgeries into my mid 50's. I was convinced that Nasanex created the cataracts long before the FDA made them include cataracts and glaucoma in their warnings. I was so convinced, that in 2007, I searched websites in the UK, and found that the cautioned against these effects, but the U.S. at that time did not warn. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars and suffered greatly.

I also have cataracts...I used Nasonex for nearly 4 years ..I tried to stop using all medications with steroids, after a nurse friend of mine warned me about the dangers... and the cataracts have stopped progressing.. even when doctors insisted I should use them... I have refused..yes, I get bronchitis, and I have Asthma...it gets so bad I use a nebulizer...once or twice a month...,we need more information about these drugs....before we start using them..

I used Nasonex for 7 months straight and developed cataract in both eyes. One eye surgery was in 2011 and I just had the other eye done in May of 2013. My eye doctor thinks for sure it was all from the Nasonex spray. I am 47 years old.

I took prescription Nasonex for many years for allergies, and was not warned about possible eye problems. I had cataract surgery in both eyes at age 48, but no one asked me if I was on any type of steroid prescription. This was 6 years ago. I no longer take Nasonex, but noticed that the television commercials now warn of possible cataracts. Had I heard the warning back then, I probably would not have taken this medication.

I see a couple comments with people in their 60's , lots of 50's and a few in their 40's complaining about cataracts. Was 29 when i was told i have cataracts which is half the age of most people on here who complain because they are too young. But yes, i took nasonex off and on for a couple of years and now believe my catracts was caused by the use of nasonex. I have often thought about a lawsuit, but never really looked into anything.

I was getting severe headaches nasal congestion. Nothing worked. MD gave me Nasonex. Worked great and got cataracts both eyes in a year. At 46 Just done with both surgeries; neither went well so out of work longer than expected. Being an RN in a hospital,i had to see well to be able to practice safely for my patients. The reason i missed longer than expected. Had to wait for new script.
There is nothing out there to decrease swelling and help drain sinuses without drying except nasonex,or steroid based med. I have tried everything including that natural sinus flushing kit,it all bombed. Nasonex works well, but i hate to use it. I surely hope there is something new to come out soon. If anyone knows of a better way,please tell. Take care all!!!

A year ago I was told I have glaucoma by the eye doctor. I have since learned that no one in our family but myself has had glaucoma. Now I learn that the medicine nasonex that I was prescribed can cause glaucoma. What can I do about this? Anyone have any suggestions?

I found I had developed a cataract in my right eye in late 2012 at age 58. A year later I was put on Nasonex for rhinitis. I have now developed a second cataract only 4 months after starting to use Nasonex. In addition, and simultaneously,I am experiencing flashing light in the left eye when I look to the right or up.

This is crazy. I have been diagnosed with Glaucoma 2 years ago. It came from no where. Never anyone in my entire family had that nor I had ever heard about that before. I have been diagnosed 2 years after my first use of Nasonex. It took 2 years before getting my OP stabilized. I am on Lumigan right now. Then my doctor just prescribe me Nasonex again because my allergy are as bad as 5 years ago. Took it twice and already start to have some issue seeing and just found out about the effect! I am really pissed... no one told me. How can my doctor prescribe me this?
