While I have not been diagnosed with glaucoma, I'm aware that this is one of the side effects of a steroid inhaler. My ophthalmologist said that people usually know very soon after starting the inhaler if they have a sensitivity as it starts to cause glaucoma, within a year or 2. That's the way I understood it. What does your ophthalmologist say?

From what I've read budesonide steroid in an inhaler is a bit safer than fluticasone. Less likely to cause pneumonia in a variety of studies.

Interesting question.
I have had (stable) glaucoma for over 10 years, pressure maintained at 14-15 with eyedrops. For several years while battling asthma & bronchitis I was on prednisone and/or budosenide frequently - it seemed to have no effect on my glaucoma.
Then I was diagnosed with MAC & bronchiectasis and took antibiotics for nearly 2 years.
Recently I have been using Symbicort (budosenide plus formoterol) for over 2 years with no changes.
Both my ophthalmologist and my pulmonologist are aware of all my diagnoses and medications. The pulmonologist was specific in using budosenide - perhaps due to the glaucoma? - she never said that directly. I have visual field and retina scans, pressure checks and physical eye exams every 6 months, all showing very little progression in the glaucoma.
So apparently, not every steroid poses the same risk.
