Thank you for your response. I am an artist myself, though I haven't done anything since PMR started to become debilitating at the end of last year. After working all day, almost every day for decades. There is no question that I will be keeping on top of exams from now on. Currently the only thing that seems different with my vision is that it feels like everyone else is driving with their brights on at night. And I can't tell if I just typed a comma or a period on this screen without retyping- though that may have already started before all of this. I'm happy enough with the Optometrist I just saw, I have a follow up in a couple of weeks, and will stay on the meds till I get off of prednisone. There is a very good Ophthalmologist/cataract specialist in the same practice, and I know of a few other good people around here. This is a well known and respected practice locally, which has expanded to a few other locations over the years, but is by no means a cookie cutter chain store. My nephew in law, who I consulted at Thanksgiving, is very good, but too far away for convenience. But I could certainly ask him for advice if I feel that I need it. If I had known what was coming I would most likely have chosen an opthamologist first though.
Thanks for the good advice! You've been really helpful.
