Question Thoughts on prednisone

Has anyone had adverse effects to prednisone? The reason I am asking is I had my transplant in April of 2016 and have been on vary amounts of prednisone. The most I was taking daily was 140 mg per day. I have been told by ophthalmologists, hematologists/oncologists, and a gastroenterologist that my cataracts and a recent bleeding ulcer were caused by prednisone. I never suspected the prednisone caused either of the problems until it was too late. I have since stopped the prednisone and am not seeing the doctor that prescribed it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
