Thanks for reminding me to schedule an eye exam. I have not had a problem with high eye pressure so far in my PMR journey and the headache has been there off and on the whole time. The optometrist thought I was being overly cautious going in every year so I have waited 2 years. He said the steroid-induced glaucoma he has seen happened with higher doses than what I am on ( 5,5 mg). Hopefully he is right and it's still OK!

I hope your eye pressures are all good to rule out high IOP or glaucoma, but going for an eye exam every year is not unreasonable,

I go for an eye exam every year, particularly since prednisone is known to also cause cataracts.

Be well.
