That is similar to what I went through when I went to the local emergency room for temporary vision loss. They were trying to distinguish between GCA and stroke, so over 2 days I had extensive blood tests, EKG, EEG, MRI of my brain, ultrasound of my heart, and a temporal artery biopsy. I saw quite a few doctors, including the emergency room doctor and 2 neurologists. They suspected GCA immediately, so they started me on daily IVs of high dose steroids. I was hospitalized for 3 days so that I could receive the IVs.

The week following my hospitalization, I saw my PCP and a rheumatologist, and the rheumatologist advised me to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible, since I had had several episodes of temporary vision loss due to the GCA. I think I saw the ophthalmologist the following week. In your case it might be ok to see the eye doctor a little later, since your vision was not affected. But it is still good to follow up with them because of the problems that can be caused by prednisone.
