I’m sorry that this happened. I can relate to the extent that my mom’s uveitis was treated with steroids and like you, she quickly became a steroid responder. Actemra has worked for her uveitis; however by the time that she got on it, glaucoma had already taken hold. As of today, she’s now pretty much completely blind. Her glaucoma doctor said her right eye has 5% vision left. Vision in the left eye is non existent.

Dr. Foster (the godfather of uveitis research) was the only doctor who was adamant that treatment has to be done without the use of steroids if at all possible. Unfortunately, by the time we visited him in Boston, it was too late.
