    Default blurry vision

    I have noticed that my vision has gotten worse in the last 6 weeks. More blurry when I look far. I can see up close, I do wear glasses in my vision is pretty bad. I was told I have cataracts in the left eye, I am wondering if the cataracts got worse. I will call my eye doctor tomorrow.

    Better than nagging, you are showing us by good example! Especially with eye issues, I can't agree with you more: Make the appointment. Now! Like elephant did.

    I noticed the same thing today and figure it is cataracts getting worse and also due to prednisone since I read that it can also cause blurry vision. I also get blurry visionwhen BG has rapid changes which is also a factor with prednisone. i have regular appointments set up with eye doctors and arrangements for them to see me on an emergency basis if I notice anything real suggestive of any eye problem. it seems eye problems are a little easier to diagnose and treat than hearing problems.

    Sounds like cataracts to me - if you have an operation to remove them, don't worry about it too much. Although the prospect may sound horrendous the operation is a breeze - pain free and very short recovery time.

    My vision has been blurry and cloudy the last few days. I just got out of the hospital today after a 3 day stay for a left kidney ureter stent placement for an obstructing stone. So far so good, just hoping that the invasive surgery will not set off a wegeners flare. The hospitalist in charge of my care thought it riduclous that I was taking Bactrim every other day, refused to update my med list so wanted to take me from 15 of pred to 40, said I didn't need Calcium with 600 of Vitamin D, stopped my beta blocker and put me back on lisonpril. I had took my beta blocker and bactrim from home and refused 25mg of pred every day. Thank goodness he has no control over my care other than in the hospital. If I'm ever admitted again I will refuse him and request another hospitalist, my primary doc is a Nurse Practitioner and our hospital doesn't allow them admitting priveleges, since she has saved my life several times when the "boys" couldn't agree on my Wegs treatment I'm not willing to change providers for primary.

    I don't blame you Lightwarrior! Some docs can seem to arrogant!

    I recently had a similar experience when admitted to a different hospital. I had to be quite assertive and tell the docs what medication I would and would not accept. At the end of the day, they can not force treatment onto you against your wishes. The situation was only resolved after I insisted that they consult with my usual Wegs specialists.
