MY LEFT EYE IS NOW EXPERIENCING THE EARLY STAG OF THE ABOVE. SEEN TWO SEPARATE DOCTORS ONE SAYS DRY EYE THE OTHER SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDER. THE ONLY LASTING RELIEF I RECEIVED WAS DURING A 30 DAY REGIMENT OF USING A LOW DOSE EYE STERIORD. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Brief Answer:
Multiple sclerosis needs to be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The fact that you are getting relieved by the use of steroids indicates that there is a inflammatory condition possibly associated. Besides, the condition seems progressive. Multiple Sclerosis is a condition to be ruled out. It is an immune system disorder where our systems attack our brain, spine and optic nerves.
I would insist you to ask your ophthalmologist to rule it out. Alternatively, you may see a neurologist.
Feel free to write back.
