Yes, I required cataract surgery at the age of 26 (one eye), having been on steroids for an extended period. It was either the steroids, or possible serious eye problems which the steroids prevented.
And, yes, sub-conjunctival injections are quite unpleasant too...I have been the lucky recipient of no fewer tban five over the years.
Good news is you can't get a cataract again! (Well, after YAG laser treatnment, anyway).
