Default Cataracts/Double Vision/Prednisone

Hello everyone

Went to the eye Dr on Friday for check-up {ok, I admit it has been 12 years since I had one}

Dr. explained that I have cataracts in both eyes but not servere enough yet to do surgery and he said it was caused from the pred I took years ago and that not even prisim glasses would help with the double vision because cataracts cause double vision also.

The difference between the MG and cataract double vision is that with cataracts you have double vision even if you close one eye, well that explained a lot to me, I thought I was crazy that I had double vision in "one" eye...LOL

So for those of you taking high doses of Pred make sure you see your eye Dr. on a yearly basis.
