Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any sudden or significant changes in your vision while taking Prednisone. This includes blurry vision, double vision, or loss of vision, even if temporary.
Seek immediate medical attention if you notice:
- Severe eye pain Increased eye redness or swelling Discharge from your eyes Increased light sensitivity (photophobia) The appearance of floaters or flashes of light
While some mild eye dryness or irritation can occur, persistent or worsening symptoms warrant a doctor’s visit. Don’t wait for symptoms to become unbearable; early intervention often leads to better outcomes.
Schedule an appointment with your ophthalmologist or doctor if you experience:
Persistent blurry vision that doesn’t improve after a few days. Eye discomfort that lasts longer than a week. Changes in your eye color or appearance. Any new or unusual eye symptoms, regardless of severity.
Regular eye exams are recommended while on Prednisone. Your doctor can monitor your eye health and catch any problems early.
