Hi,
Blurred vision could be due medicine although it is less likely but complete loss of vision is the serious condition and it cannot be due to any medicine, infection may be the cause but it is also very less likely, even steroid may not be the cause (Unless it is the viral fever and patient is immune compromise).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
