Barbara,

I had my last CH about 6 weeks ago. I went to my optometrist for a routine checkup and found my CH-side eye (right, this time) had deteriorated substantially in terms of nearsightedness--so much so I went from 20-20 (corrected) to 20-80 (corrected), while my left eye was still 20-20 with glasses (I am blind as a bat without glasses.) He started checking the side effects of all my medications, which included prednisone for the CHs. He remarked that prednisone can effect vision and that, in fact, he had been taking prednisone for about a week several months earlier and it had affected his vision. At the time, his vision was slowly returning to normal. In the last six weeks, mine has not improved and, even with new lenses, my right eye vision is still blurred. I have made another appointment to have it rechecked.

In any case, check to see if any of your meds could affect your vision--and get thee to an eye doctor!

Good luck
