Hi all

Recently been told that I may have developed pco in my right eye.  I had iol surgery 2 years ago and have recently been having issues with blurry/hazy vision.  Optometrist reckons its pco causing the problem.  My question is to anyone out there whom has had pco.  Can the symptoms vary?  As sometimes the vision is not too bad yet other times it is particularly hazy.  I would have thought that pco would cause a consistent permenant problem until it is lasered away.

Thanks

    Having GCA the steroid helps and in same time of course has also side effects regarding the bones and increasing

    Cataracts.

    We must be alert all the time - taking the right

    amount of steroid and observing the symptoms we have

    when the tapering is not the one we need.

    The good vision is our concern all the time.

    Wish you the best

      Hi iellen

      Thank you for your reply.  What are the GCA steroids that you mention and what do they do?

      Thanks
