Can someone describe what the visual disturbance is that goes with GCA? I have had a focusing issue that is intermittent. I do not lose vision but something is definitely off. Not taken seriously by my eye doctors who say it is from dry eyes. I did see Dr. Gary Reynolds at Mass General and he is a researcher for GCA - he did not think I had it but I continue to wonder about my odd visual symptoms.

@bcrast
I have noticed a focusing issue as well. I’ve been on prednisone for almost 6 months and just tapered off yesterday. I’ve been to the eye doctor and my cataracts have worsened significantly along with my vision. I’m scheduled for surgery late March and early April. Also have dry eyes.
Hope this helps. The worry of GCA is always hanging over our heads.
