As Dr mittal pointed out is correct but one thing I would like to suggest that please don't use steroids,orally or topically in future. And whenever you need some medicine and consult some doctor,Please tell him that you are a steroid responder.and if giving steroids is necessary then regularly get your IOPexamined..
Otherwise also please get your ophthalmic check up done at a regular interval.

Hello
As per the information provided,yes ....you are steroid responder
Once steroid is stopped, pressure will reduce with antiglaucoma medication
Once pressure is under control,we can slowly reduce or stop medicine and monitor the pressure
