eyesight

Sassy,

My vision changed drastically since treatment, but the reason was because of the steroids I was on for two years. It seems that prednisone exacerbates cateracts. I was prescibed high doses of prednisone for radiation pneumonitis. My opthomologist kept giving me prescriptions every few months for strongher glasses. I was fortunate to go to For Eyes Optical. They have (had?) a policy that if a customer needed new lenses within six months (or perhaps it was within four months?) that they would make the new lenses free of charge. Finally, I submitted to cataract surgery one year ago so I now have 20/20 vision in one eye. The dr. wants to do my other eye, but I decided I am happy with my vision the way it is.

Good luck,
Maggie in Maryland
