I do have steriod induced cataracts from the prednisone. BUT I do have an opthomologist who is familiar with autoimmune diseases and knows what to check for at each of my visits. I think it is VERY important that they are aware of what RP can do to the eyes. Dr. ( I think that's the right one) has a site. I will find it and try to send it tonight. Please take any information you can to your dr and if he doesn't want to read it, then I would suggest you get another dr. Your eyes are too important to wait around with. Are you on any meds for the RP? What are your sypmtoms? Please share a little bit about yourself. We support not just RP but the whole person. We love to laugh and fell that a good laugh is the best medicine around. Looking forward to knowing you better. I live in Calif, am 50 ..ooops.. 51 LOL, married to Rich and have 3 daughters and one grandaugher and a grandson. I had my first RP flare in 1998. I am currently on Pred and Plaquenil. You will see we are all different, take different meds, and RP will affect us in different areas. SO.... please just keep asking all the questions you want. You WILL get an answer or be shown where to go look for one. Again welcome to the RP family. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
