1asalsa, I’m sorry to hear your vision is not back to normal. Did you need any treatment during your flare? Some of the treatments can cause a change in vision themselves. I had a problem with focus for a few weeks to a month after the cryotherapy I had, but it eventually cleared up. I’m guessing you’ve had your eyes checked for astigmatism or a change in prescript
ion if they’re already moving on to ocular myasthenia.
Remicade is approved to treat AS, I believe, but unfortunately whatever is going on with my back isn’t letting up and I can’t honestly say my eyes are 100% either.
My uveitis started about six months after my Crohn’s symptoms did. It began with excessive floaters and flashes in the side of my vision. At the time, it wasn’t too bad and it was only affecting my left eye, so we didn’t start any sort of treatment. Almost exactly a year later, it started flaring. The vision in my left eye was extremely cloudy and I could barely see anything out if it. At that point, we started steroid injections, but within a week my right eye became affected and began to hemorrhage. I lost 90% of my vision, which was really scary. 60 mg of prednisone and about a month later, my vision was almost back to normal.
Right now I am ok, so long as my vision stays where it is. If it weren’t for the uveitis, I’d still be nice and happy on Cimzia without the Remicade and 6-MP and all the nausea and hair loss it brings. I’m grateful I have my vision back, but it would be nice if nothing had changed and if I had stayed the way I was before the flare.
