I have vasculitis affecting my left eye, and now my vision has become blurred with some opacities in the vitreous. I also have cataracts in both eyes, and my vision improves while using Flupred drops, but becomes blurry again after stopping them. What treatment may help control this problem and better protect my vision?
Vasculitis involving the eye can cause inflammation inside the eye, leading to blurred vision, floaters, vitreous opacities, redness, or light sensitivity. The temporary improvement while using Flupred Eye Drops suggests that inflammation may still be active, and symptoms may return after stopping the drops if the underlying condition is not fully controlled. Cataracts in both eyes may also add further blurring and visual disturbance. Eye vasculitis often needs long-term monitoring because repeated inflammation can gradually affect the retina, optic nerve, or vitreous. Steroid drops may reduce inflammation, but prolonged use without supervision can increase the risk of glaucoma, cataract progression, or infection. Depending on the severity, eye specialists may use oral medications, injections, or immune-modifying treatments to better control inflammation. Cataract surgery may be considered later, but active inflammation should be well controlled before surgery is planned. A doctor review would be very important, especially if floaters increase, vision suddenly drops, eye pain develops, or flashes of light appear.
