Maira have your doctors suggested any treatment for the lesion in your right eye?

Hi @johnbishop, thank you for your help!
The doctors told me to use a dexamethasone ophtalmic suspension 4 times a day, increase immuran to 200mg/day (I was with 50mg/day for 2 years) and pred 20mg/day. We are waiting the ophtalmologist decision to start rituximab. The ophtalmologist is in doubt between this lesion being a GPA manifestation or an autoimmune reaction to herpes.
I've some photos of the lesion.. do you have an e-mail? Thanks again
