My rheumy says I should have my eyes checked every 6 months by an opthamologist who is familiar with inflamation of the eyes and autoimmune diseases. It is even more important if you are on Plaquenil. This drug does cause some kind of granuals on the eye and when found the drug should be stopped and it should go away. Thanks Dagny for bringing this important part of rP to our attention. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 I have tapered off and only use them once in a while now. I also use Timolol drops at night to control eye pressure from the prednisone. It is really important to see a good eye doctor as a lot of damage can be done to the eyes by RP. Don't wait. Good luck, Dagny -- Hi Dagny, Lu here, you made a very good point that people should not forget to do. You need to have a good eye doctor to take care of that aspect of RP. Thanks for reminding everyone. Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
