Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision And Elevated Blood Sugar Levels
I took about 50-55mg prednisolone for a period of 3 weeks for bell s palsy. Afterward, I began to experience symptoms like blurred vision and elevated blood sugar. I am now on insulin to control the blood sugar level, but my vision is getting worse by the day. I have had two eye examinations within a week and was told that my eyes will get better. However, I would like to know what I can do to reverse these effects, because I have been off work for about 2 months now. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Hi,
Yes, the elevation of blood sugar may lead to diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy which may lead to vision problems.
Please control blood sugar, use vitamin A and B12 injections with a regular fundoscopic examination. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
