Can Cortisone Shots On Both Shoulders Result In Blurred Vision?
I am a 52 y.o. Male and I got cortisone shot in each shoulder about one week ago. Since then I am experiencing blurred vision and I have seen my doctor but he is thinking it may be diabetes. My question is that could the cortisone shots cause blurred vision?

Hi
I have gone through the question and yndersrand your question.
Answer to your question is no , cortisone cannot cause blurring of vision , as steroid are used in many of the ocular conditions.
Your doctor may be right about diabetes , but at this age ,cataract can also be a reason for blurring of vision.
I would advice you to get full eye checkup.
Hope this was of help
Thankyou
