Firstly, the writing is non comprehensible.
Secondly, if an ophthalmologist has seen you and suggested steroid eye drops, it’s better to follow.

Sir it is true that steroid causes glaucoma,but its effect is over a long time .It should not cause any problem ,you can use low strength steroid like lotepred in its place ,and chances of blindness is very low.I would suggest you to get a second opinion before making a decision .
