Brief Answer:
It can affect the pressure in some individuals

Detailed Answer:
hey thanks for the question . Budesonide and any sterois for that matter can increase the eye pressure in 5-6% of the patients and they are called steroid responders . You need to be monitored for the same and if so it has to be stopped . hope my answer helps you .Regards
