Cloudiness In Eyes, Eyes Tearing, Headache. History Of Glaucoma. Taking Symbicort
My husband has been having problems with his eyes since Dec. 2012. He already had glaucoma, but all of a sudden he started having cloudiness, headaches,his eyes tearing all the time and it feels like he's looking under water, and two and a half months ago started having tinnitus very loud ringing. He has been on Symbicort for about a year now and all this started there after.

your history is suggestive of Angle Closure glaucoma..
cataract and glaucoma is well known side effect of steroid.. but oral/inhaled steroid are less likely to cause glaucoma..
visit your ophthalmologist for cataract and galucoma evaluation.. he might need surgical/laser intervention..
because of raised pressure in the eye he may have problem of watering, headache, clouding of vision..
thank you...
