My GI dr. feels it may be Sjogren's and is probably related to the PSC and/or Crohn's. Also, I have cataracts due to the years of prednisone usage.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 > > Can psc cause eye problems temporarily.Noticed Sat. I would see a spot in my vision asday went by.... Myrtle, I had problems with a blind spot in my vision that was especially noticable at low light levels (moonlit nights). I saw several doctors about the problem before eventually adding AD & E vitamins supplements, which caused the blind spot to gradually disappear. I thnk my PSC has caused poor absorption of fat soluble vitamins so I need more than usual to get enough into my system.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Myrtle, Hello from Northwestern Ontario. I too have had trouble with my eyes over the last couple of years. They seem to get very dry, sore and itchy at times. I can't produce tears most of the time? Don't know if this related to PSC or not. Ray Laird, Thunder Bay Ontario Canada.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 As with just about anything else that ails me, I have also wondered whether PSC is responsible for my floaters. Probably not - it's very common in those with poor (myopic) vision as we age (not sure if that's good or bad!). See http://www.agingeye.net/visionbasics/flashesandfloaters.php, for example.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Arne, My opthamologist doubts that there is any connection between PSC and my floaters. I guess that means I have to accept aging as the culprit.
