Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 I just remembered something I wanted to run by the group. When I was driving home from Atlanta, I had some pretty pronounced problems with my vision. I felt just fine while it was daylight, but once it got dark everything seemed a little blurry and I had trouble making out objects in the distance. I also had a " halo effect " . I was surprised because I have not noticed any other problems with my vision. I take MTX and Plaquenil, and was still taking some prednisone. I do get dry eyes with my RA (especially when I flare), and they felt somewhat dry that night. Could the dry eyes or RA be the culprit? My fear, of course, is that it is related to the Plaquenil. I am due for my 6 month eye exam next month. Should I wait so long as it doesn't get worse? Or when I get back in town next week, should I go have it checked? Last week I had terrible mouth sores, now vision concerns. The side effects from the medications are pretty scary at times! By the way, my RD said to get an over the counter medication called Amosan for the mouth sores (you have to ask at the pharmacy, but don't need a prescription). It worked amazingly well. Just wanted to share that in case anyone else gets them. As always, thanks for your support and advice! Hugs, Carol in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
