Fluocinolone Acetonide & Glaucoma: Risks and Precautions

Yes, it can.

Fluocinolone acetonide topical solution is a corticosteroid medication used to treat a variety of skin conditions. It is important to use this medication as directed by your doctor, and to avoid using it for longer than prescribed. Long-term use of topical corticosteroids, including fluocinolone acetonide, can lead to glaucoma, a serious eye condition that can cause vision loss.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of glaucoma, such as blurred vision, halos around lights, or pain in your eyes, it is important to see your doctor immediately.
