Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Thanks Dagny - I'm on my way! I'll let you know what they say. Hope your Tuesday is a great one! Carol eye involvement I too have had eye involvement, and have been under the care of an ophthalmalogist up at Casey Eye Institute here in Portland. I was put on Predsilone AC 1% three times a day and Timolol Gel 0.26% every night. The RP has affected mainly my left eye. This treatment has brought the scleritis under control, and I now use the drops only as needed, but the Timolol I use in each eye every night to counteract the buildup in pressure from the prednisone I normally take. I now only see my doctor every three months to check on how things are going. For a while I was up there every 2 weeks, so I've come a long way in the right direction! Please seek help immediately because your eyes are very precious.
