Oz,

Due taking Predisone For my MG I developed Cataracts in both Eyes. I had
plastic lenses put in both eyes.

I had double vision due to the Myasthenia Gravis. It required some
pretty high doses of Predisone to help the eye muscles to correct the DV
but screwed up the lenses
The plastic lenses were a God Send.

When I get tired the double vision acts up and when I read (Close
Vision) it is still there but they put a prism in the bifocals that lets
me read the 'fine print'

P/S I still take 10 mg of Pred. ever other day. I can't get off it but
10 eod isn't to bad.

Good luck with your decision. I myself find no problem with glasses and
they do add protection.


Thom: You apparently are what is known as a "steroid responder," having
developed lens opacities secondary to steroid use. Did you have an
undesirable response with your intraocular pressures as well (relating to
glaucoma)?
