I just hate when my vision isn’t good! I’m so sorry yours is blurry. Have you seen an ophthalmologist (not an optometrist)? Ophthalmologists are doctors who are highly trained in diseases and conditions of the eye. My vision changed 3 times last year! The ophthalmologist said that prednisone can affect vision. The doctor can also evaluate the health of your eyes and is god to add to your list of MDs. I certainly hope things go well for you and your vision gets straightened out. Becky

I am so glad you made this post. My vision, too, changed three times last year, and my rheumatologist told me that she thought it was the prednisone. She encouraged me to see my ophthalmologist regularly. While I am sorry that you have vision problems, it is helpful to know that someone else has had the same experience. I have had one lens change this year, and I think another is in my future.

Yes, I get to see the ophthalmologist this week as my rhumatoligist (all these long doctor names lol) referred me, so I will see what is going on with vision. I am concerned that the prednisone maybe has interfered with my vision, and was hoping as I am trying to taper down (at 4MG) vision would become clearer. thanks for your reply and Good luck to you too!!
