My ophthalmologist has told me that cataracts are possible due to long-term pred use (have only been completely off them for three months since dx). I find myself thinking that cataract surgery wouldn't necessarily be bad if I could lose the nearsightedness and astigmatism. I'm going to try single vision soft contacts for distance vision along with reading glasses. I've tried multi focal soft contacts, but I have too much astigmatism, and so I have a bit of "ghosting" when I wear them.

Good luck!!
