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!!

I'm not sure if it was the prednisone, however, my night vision became a lot worse, and I ended up having cataract surgery, which I probably would have anyway at my age, 71. I was diagnosed with GCA which can affect eyesight and cause blindness if not caught. Relieved that I was diagnosed!!! 10 mg, down from 60 in July.
