Avatar n tn Short term low doses of Prednisone is not harmful unless you already suffer from emotional instability. If your eyesight gets blurry and/or you feel emotionally distressed while taking Prednisone contact your doctor immediately.
Avatar f tn I received IV steroids for a couple of days for my lupus and I noticed a change in my eyesight. (better) I was put on 20mg of prednisone for 1 1/2 months and then I was put on 40mg prednisone for a week. I noticed that my eyesight was getting better. Personally I dont know if my eye problems have anything to do with the lupus. But does anyone know why steroids can help your vision and possibly what other condition I could have that causes the eye problems and responds to steroids? Help.
19471740 tn?1478312837 Hi I'm a 38 year old female and I've been on 60 mg of Prednisone for a little over two weeks for treatment of Temporal Arteritis (suspected). I had a Temporal Artery Biopsy which showed no evidence of Temporal Arteritis but my doctor wants me to continue taking the Prednisone. I am experiencing Tachycardia upwards to 170 bpm. I have hot/cold sweats that seem to alternate every several minutes.
Avatar n tn It seems like all the posts I have read says it didnt help. Help my husband needs his vision back and need to go back to work and get a paycheck.
Avatar m tn s 51 pounds and has arthritis issues in her hips, her hearing is going and so is her eyesight. Last weekend she had trouble getting up and the vet gave her a shot of Dexamethasone and Prednisone 10mg tablets 2x per day etc. She became weak and her back legs were unstable after a day of medicine. How does all this impact the kidney's? She has diarrhea from the Prednisone and now doesn't want to eat. My poor girl, I don't know what to do. Do you have any suggestions?
1523516 tn?1330044257 Hi Stacie I've just been taking Prednisone. 500 mg a day for 4 days. I feel horrible. I've never been more tired and feel numbness in my arms and random tingles. I'm assuming it's due to the Prednisone and it will let up now that I've stopped taking it. I was reading that some people do have side effects when taking steroids and I'm hoping that I'm just one of those people. I hope you feel better soon!

1638091 tn?1300391180 I'm currently 16 and have fairly poor eyesight. I've been considering Lasik but definitely for years down the road. I also have central heterochromia and I love it. Although I don't think anything could happen, I was wondering if Lasik has the possibility of hampering with my heterochromia. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn , the second did a nerve conduction study, I have carpel tunnel syndrome on both sides He was the one to diognose the polymyalgia and order the prednisone. MRI cervcal spine showed degeneration in the discs, with one very close to the spine. I am certain that these episodes are coming from my neck, and the "tighness is coming from my mid-uppper spine--I can feel them coming on, almost like a "wave". Never when I am doing anything strenuous. Please help!

Avatar f tn And also I had a history of chalazia in my left eye. I had one in the top eyelid and one in the bottom eyelid. The one at the top recently popped on it own.
Avatar n tn i was outside in the dark, looked at my glass and the next minute I couldn;t see it. My hand disappeared when i put it in front of my glass also. If moved my head up and looked down, I could see them again. Looking straight ahead, they disappeared. It lasted almost 10 minutes. Is this a sign of some disease to come?
Avatar n tn I have streaks (zigzag) in peripheal vision in left eye.. I can't focus.
Avatar f tn I am worried about if my baby would be able to see and hear. I have seen baby's eye lenses in the ultrasound scan. What else are the things to watch to check if everything is normal.

Avatar m tn Hi, I searched but couldn't find this question asked: Are there any medications that will effect your eyesight? I've noticed that since I've been taking Benicar for about a year for hypertension my eyesight seems to be going south. I only own reading glasses and didn't always need them - now I can't go anywhere without them. Maybe it's age (48) but because it seems to be coming on relatively fast I'm slightly worried. Any comments of advice or appreciated.
663901 tn?1232649671 Yes when I was on Seroquel I had to get an eye exam each year due to the extremely rare risk of cataracts but I saw an opthamologist anyway so it was no big deal. That is statisically rare and no reason to be concerned about Seroquel and a check up as I suggested is the best form of follow up. Seroquel is safe in this regard. In this case (you know I am always factual) your pharmacist was overstating the risk but a follow up visit is generally a good idea.
Avatar m tn Lost left eyesight 6 days after Depo-Medrol epidural. Following year, right eyesight went after Kenalog injection to the right shoulder. I'm trying to determine if I have cortical blindness. I recently had a VER and an EEG tests done and would like a second opinion to interpret the results.
1506051 tn?1317731817 Sorry was supposed to be 'blood pressure and eyesight in wd's', posting on my iPhone!
Avatar f tn My eyes are blurry and dry. I wear contacts. My OPT said she could see dry spots on my eyes. She said try more eye drops and don't wear contacts as long. My eyesight has also gotten worse she doesn't know for sure if it will go back to normal or not. This really didn't start untill halfway through tx. I am at wk 22 of 24. I would definitely get it checked. I can really tell my eyesight has changed.
