I have a fellow patient @ my center who asked me to put this out and see if anyone had anything like this...
She is steadily going blind, but before Dialysis; her eyesight is fairly decent; not good enough to drive, but she isn't walking into walls either. But during "D"; it starts to weaken and towards the end; she can't hardly see at all. She doesn't see "spots' just her vision is gone!!!
Any thoughts or suggestions? I can't tell you what doctors she's seen for this; or what she's tried, she just asked me to throw it out there!!!!

When I had the 'not seeing spots' thing I had retina detaching. "Most likely caused by Pred" , and a fall. Pretty important to see an ophthalmologist.
-
Immediately following dialysis macular degeneration kicked in. I don't know if I would relate the two but it happened.
Eyesight got serious, very serious. I had to see my Harley - sniffle. 47 years in the saddle. I even shaved.
Now I sit around, squint at the TV and run big fonts on the computer. I can't read Playboy anymore so I just look at the pictures.

Prednisone is dangerous stuff. I had a 3 month course in early 2012, and am now recovering from a halloween hip replacement for prednisone induced avascular necrosis.

Idk if this is the same, but i tend to flucuate with my eyesight, seems one day im seeing ok, the next i can barely see anything... ranges all over the place. its odd. i have poor eyesight since kindergarten though.
