Re: Steroid induced glaucoma? Another reason for me to hope Xolair

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with macular degeneration about the same time I was diagnosed

with asthma. My doc follows me annually for the mac degeneration, but he

started checking my pressures every six months when I was put on oral pred

(every

other day maintenance) and my pressures started going up. Fortunately I have

been able to go from 20 mg to 5 mg of the pred once I was on Zolair, and my

pressures are down; I am back to annual eye checks.
