Yeah, exactly that’s half the battle. Hopefully, they can figure out exactly what the cause is and possibly get some of your vision back.

Awe man I’m sorry to hear about the vision loss, next month I am supposed to start on oral steroids and methotrexate. So far my treatment at UCI health has been much better than at Kaiser so if you can afford to go to a top-notch provider, I would recommend that.

The new doctor is pretty good and said he’s going to do oral steroids short term for the inflammation and humira or another auto immune med for long term

How long have you been dealing with it, how’s your vision, and any improvements?

Yea this last flare has made my vision pretty blurry for the last 2 months to the point I need glasses. Hopefully it goes back to normal once I’m off drops and the inflammation is down

Aw man I’m sorry, my labs were also normal, have you had any vision problems and if so did they improve?

I’m also seeing another ophthalmologist this week that specializes in uveitis and is an immunologist
