Glaucoma and prednisone – the cause and the cure
Question:
Paul at least you have some humor going for you. Thanks loved that last line. UM MOM Susan
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I regular;y post a note about the importance of people on prednisone having their eyes checked because it can cause glaucoma which can sneak up and blind you. One of my eyes was not doing well and I had to have laser surgery to open a drainage channel. I was on the table less than 48 hours after seeing the glaucoma specialist. The funny part is that I have to use prednisone eye drops while the eye heals. Is this a case of the hair of the dog that bit me? Paul
