Yes mine was in my right eye only. My vision in that eye is still blotchy and grey areas. That has not improved. Guess this is my new norm now. I am so thankful it was not worse. My Neuro Ophthalmologist did not want to put me on Actemra. No clue why. I went last week for my visit and she has me on 1 mg 3 times a day for 1 week, then 2 mg/day for 1 week, then down to 1 for 1 week. Then one every other day. I fell about a month ago and have been having terrible arm and shoulder pain. They checked it out and can not find anything wrong with it. Now the other arm is also hurting and I do believe it is pain from prednisone withdrawals. Good luck and God Bless you with this diagnosis. Thanks also for responding.

I would get a second opinion and possibly a new neuro ophthalmologist.
