PMR, Prednisone, Eye Hemorrhage

Posted , 11 users are following.

I have an eye hemorrhage. It doesn't hurt...no vision changes, etc., it just suddenly appeared. Could this be connected to my PMR or prednisone. I am presently on 8m...almost 3 years into PMR.

Thanks!

    I had them in the first 18 months on pred - when the dose was above around15mg. However I haven't had one since reducing from that dose.

    I get them, got them before pred, increased when on higher doses, now onlu occasional again.  Eye drops (the artificial tears) were recommended to my by my eye doctor and they do seem to make the redness disappear more quickly - good to try if you don't want to terrify small children!
