Hi Nicky,
Too bad for your cataract, but I'm wondering whether you could have another Pred side effect: glaucoma...
I've been taking Pred for almost 3 years now, up to 75 mg/d, down to 5 and now up again to 60 and presently tapering at 50.
I had cataract surgery on one eye before MG and on the other eye after 8 Pred months. I have also 9/10 vision with that eye but not in a normal way, rather hazy and definitely different from the vision I had before surgery (down to 2/10...).
I had high internal eye pressure (over 30) on both eyes, effectively treated with eye drops (pressure down to around 15).
My ophtalmo is puzzled with what I tell her and my neuro says that MG doesn't affect vision (which I don't necessarily believe).
My personal opinion: the optical nerve has been affected by the glaucoma, as my vision seems to be lacking some pixels uniformely spreaded.
My advise: get yourself tested for glaucoma, because these eye damages are irreversible whereas cataract is easily corrected by surgery.
Maurice.
