Brief Answer:
Yes there is a chance that a person might have increased eye pressure
Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for the question.
As per your reports you do have glaucoma and are on treatment for it. In a population 5 to 6% patients have a chance of developing an increased eye pressure with steroid use aka budecort use but for that you need to get your eye pressure checked a week or so after using the steroid and if there is a substantial increase then it means you are a steroid responder and cannot use steroids without using an added topical anti glaucoma drug. So please work with your eye doctor accordingly and have well controlled eye pressures.
Hope my answer helps you.
Regards
