These drugs can cause generalized weakness.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam,
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having symptoms of weakness and straining of the eyes following treatment with omeprazole and prednisolone.
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and is used for treatment of gastritis or peptic ulcer. It is known to cause tiredness of muscles but tiredness of only eyes is not seen as a side effect. It can be seen as a part of other side effects like muscle spasms, difficulty in breathing, dizziness...
Prednisolone is a steroid and is used for treatment for inflammations and it is also known to cause systemic side effects like muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness...
On long term use it cause diminution of vision by causing cataract or glaucoma.
Both the above mentioned drugs will not cause specifically weakness of eyes but can cause generalized weakness and as a part of generalized weakness, weakness of eyes can be seen.
Since you are also experiencing breathlessness, tiredness.... I advice you to consult your doctor for change of drugs as these symptoms can be caused by the above mentioned drugs.
Please let me know the indication for starting the drugs and duration since you are using these drugs.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
