Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I tried to go to the links as sugested to read about the eyes, but when i clicked on the link it took me to a site I needed a pass word to enter which i don't have. Along wirh sarcoid i have been diagnosed with mitochrondrial myophty, which is another form of an auto immune desease, from my reading here in the group, its not uncommomn to have multiple auto immune deseases. I take what seems to be a truck load of meds right not, some for the actual proble and some to counteract the side effects of the ones i'm told i need. Predinsone is, i'm told is the cause for the hipplacia i have comming on now. I have ben on predinsone for several years now, at one time i was on 120 mgs a day, all of this happen while under the va care. My current doctor is tring to get off of theses meds but says i need to do it slowly. About my eyes, i'm having trouble focusing, severe headachs,and alot of twiching, most of this in my left eye, is this normal for saecoid, i'm sorry for the typing and errors but i'm having to keep my self about four to six inches from the screen to do this. Does sarcoid attack one eye or is it generally both. Thats all i can stand to do right now but i will in the near future, please if anyone has a question, iI will try toanswer them as best as I can. ONce again, thank you all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 If anyone does need the cataract surgery it's the easiest thing I've ever had done. Waaaaaay less than the dentist. I straightened my eyesight out for a few years & my eye biopsy didn't show sarc but they're messing up again. It could be the Cytoxan or the fluid on my brain. grannylunatic@... __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL – Something to write home about.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 , I had bilateral cataracts due to the Prednisone use. Both eyes were operated on 2+ years ago (I was 54 then), about one month apart. I was very happy with the surgery. Before surgery my vision without glasses or contacts was 20/200 & 20/400, so I enjoy being able to drive, watch TV, do normal things without glasses. I still need reading glasses, unless I can grow arms like Gumby, but that doesn't bother me.
