them wanting to know if the dosage had an affect on my eyes too much pressure. i was put on alphagan and then later lumigan, oh let me back up all cause i do also have myasthenia gravis. now when i was first dx i didnt have much ptosis, double vision or eye issues, well know 14yrs later i have watery eyes always, and vision is slight dimenished or shall i say far away is blurry. my vision was 20/40 i had stopped taking the drops last yr cause the dr. said the pressure went down. yes i know i need to see one again but could the watery eyes be due to allergies? i am also on p/ephed pills for sinus and allergies the only thing is annoying that my eyes are extremely sensitive to the sun. again could this be allergies, or coritcosteroid pressure in my eyes?

Any thoughts of it being paplidema (a swelling of the optic nerve)? Caution with the prednisone, the side effects are quite devastating...been there, suffer still after 20yrs.!

im surprised they let you take prednisone outside of the hospital. Here where i live its almost unheard of. I have soe for my son but that because i am medically trained and he has asthma. Prednisone increases your heart rate greatly and the problems you are having with your eyes can be directly linked to highblood pressure which is a common side effect for that drug, but it is definatley worth mentioning it to your dr. Dont take any chances.

My mom's on prednisone...she's on methamazole ( sp? ) too....she also has shots of some kind....but you could have allergies...you should ask the doctor to do allergy tests. I know you'd have to have special allergy meds. I don't think mom can have regular antihistimines.... good luck, sorry I don't know more...
