Flonase And Cataracts
(Newest posts first)

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

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.
