Hi I have Iga Vasculitis and iv had problems with my eye for a few mo this.The optometrist seen me at home and said I have an ulcer and uveitis in tight eye.
I'm really scared and I have an appointment at eye clinic tomorrow morning.
I read on Google that steroid eye drops can have bad side effects such as burning etc.
I'm petrified.
Optometrist said I may need a steroid drop to help this heal.
Help as I'm so scared and going alone.
Hi, Please don't panic. Speak to the clinician in the morning and explain your worries. I have had several types of eye drops and got on ok. The only thing to think is about driving home, if you can arrange a taxi/ train/bus that might help. Good Luck. Jane
Don't worry about steroid eye drops they hardly sting at all.also I have found steroid eye ointment more effective,put in just before bedtime no sting works overnight
Good treatment can save your sight. Make sure the opthalmologist is aware of your vasculitis!
I hope your appointment went well and that the ophthalmologist answered all your questions. You should inform your vasculitis doctor as well.
I have also used steroid eye drops and, separately, steroid eye ointment; both were very effective.
I use Clinitas drops daily for dry eyes &, again, they work very well.
Sometimes, especially when I first wake up, my eyes are red and sore because of the dryness,. Again the drops are helpful.
Tell the eye specialist about your concerns so s/he can reassure you.
