Effects of Prednisone on Eyes

I’m glad to see this topic for discussion because I have daily watery eyes from using Prednisone. My ophthalmologist says that it is because my eyes bulge from steroid use and when I blink they do not close completely. This results in “dry eye”. He prescribed eye drops but they really don’t help. To complicate things, I have had trouble tapering my steroid use and have just started taking a biologic. I hope that this will finally help me to get rid of steroids and all of the side effects. Good luck to all of us hoping for the same! ❤️

What biologic are you on?
I truly hope it works for you and that you can get rid of prednisone for good!

Bulging eyes, check your thyroid for Graves disease.
