I have been on prednisone since 2020. I have been on many reduction schedules and they have been interrupted by flares. Currently I am at 7 mg reducing by 1/2 mg a month and keeping my fingers crossed that this is the one. Blurred vision and wet and sticky eyes is an everyday issue for me. It has to be the prednisone. My eye doc says vision is fine it’s dry eyes. She gave me a prescription for eye drops but it doesn't help. Anyone else have this problem and what do you do to treat it

I have been on prednisone for almost 3 years from PMR. I can’t get below 7 mg without a flare.
I only developed wet sticky eyes after I got induced cateracts from prednisone and had cataract surgery.
Since then I have had wet sticky eyes. The eye doctor said it dry eye too. Hmmm

I have been taking prednisone for over 2 years and have had dry eye for the past 18 months. The only thing that helps is prednisone eye drops but apparently these can only be used for short periods. I recently had cataract surgery and had to use the prednisone drops. It was wonderful I could see again. Since I’ve stopped the drops my vision is deteriorating and soon I won’t be able to drive or read again. So I’m open to any suggestions.
