Eye issues

[Alysia]

blurriness can be the result of pred.

[Debbie C]

The dr.told me yesterday that the pred had nothing to do with my blurriness and that by vision was good.All I use is cheaters once in awhile while on comp. or reading. Today I am fighting a cold...was up half the night coughing now my chest hurts from it and a sore throat. If its not one thing its another. UGH !!!!

Prednisone or similar steroids can cause cataracts to form at a any age.

I think so!But my doctors told me that my cure was short just next 8 months it happened to me,and thay told me that maybe the cure can help on cataract but according to them i have had it before.

I have had inflammation in my left eye many times, in fact going back to eye doc tomorrow for a re-check. I went deaf during the onset of Weg's and then soon after that the first eye issue began. They gave me drops Lotxax, not sure of the spelling. The gifts this disease keeps giving us wants to make me scream sometimes. We live in Naples FL during the winter, this new eye doc makes my 3 new doc due to issues.

I would say see an eye doc as soon as you can.

Left eye is really giving me fits tonight. I suppose I should make an appt. I think I have to have a referral to be covered by insurance. It has to be a medical issue vice a normal eye examine. The VA gave me my last check up. They do good work contrary to what the news says. At least, I've been treated well. But it was an optometrist and I probably should see an ophthalmologist.

Good idea, I only go now to an eye doc not an optometrist. Medicare has been paying for my visits as there is an issue. I have also had flashing lights in that eye as the inflammation caused some of the gel to break lose so went right away for that.

blurriness can be the result of pred.

I'm hoping if I can get lower on pred, some of my vision issues such as blurriness and double vision will improve. Although an ophthalmologist thinks the double vision is caused by bone erosion under my eye sockets, as shown on an MRI. I'd just like to see what no pred, or only 5mg., might do for me! I'm stuck on 11mg. because I've been very conservative with tapering, in order to avoid a flare this winter. Will see the doc for results of my latest blood work tomorrow.

Several years ago, my wife was on a short course of pred to relieve some sort of inflammation (not related to an autoimmune disease). She reported double vision. Fortunately, the double vision went away after a few weeks.
