Prednison and glaucoma?

Has anyone experienced eye vision problems while taking Prednisone, I have been on 60 mg for 4 months.

Yes, glaucoma can be caused by prednisone, along with a host of other problems.

"The side effects of prednisone are dependent upon dose and
duration. Basically, prednisone speeds up the aging
process, so the long term side effects are those
typically associated with aging. The adrenal glands make
the equivalent of 4mg prednisone every day; pred use
suppresses that production, which is why tapering off pred
is so important. The adrenal glands need a chance to begin
working again. Alternate-day therapy is preferred over
daily, as it helps keep the side effects to a minimum and
also helps prevent adrenal failure.

Some of the possible effects of long term and/or high
dosage use of prednisone and other corticosteroids; some of
these can be permanent:

- bone density loss (osteoporosis - which can cause
compression and stress fractures)
- weight gain (and it's not easy to lose)
- cataracts
- glaucoma
- exophthalmos (eyeball prominence)
- thinning of the skin, fragile skin
- plethora (facial redness)
- violaceous striae (stretch marks)
- slow wound healing
- thinning of scalp hair
- increased body hair
- bruising
- worsening of existing diabetes, or causing
steroid-induced diabetes
- increased blood fat (hyperlipoproteinemia)
- negative balance of calcium, nitrogen and magnesium
(catabolic state)
- salt retention
- suppression of adrenal glands (which is why you must
taper off, to give them a chance to start working again)
- menstrual abnormalities
- impotence in guys
- suppression of growth in children
- weak muscles
- osteonecrosis of bone ends
- gastritis
- peptic ulcer
- thrush
- pancreatitis
- hypertension
- congestive heart failure in pre-disposed individuals
- alterations in mood
- psychosis (rare)
- convulsions (rare)
- increased susceptibility to infections
- suppression of immune responses
- change in white blood cell population, with increase in
neutrophils and decrease in in lymphocytes and monocytes"

I didn't find anything specifically listed in the side effects, but that doesn't mean that you aren't having one. Typically, prednisone creates GI problems and leaves you open to infection. *BUT* if you are also Diabetic, it may affect blood sugar levels, creating diabetic complication. In short, call your doctor and let them know what is going on. : )

High dose or long-term use of prednisone can cause two types of eye problems - cataracts and glaucoma. Cataracts are deposits in the lens of the eye and are part of the normal aging process. They are more common after long term prednisone usage and there is nothing you can do to prevent them. Fortunately, the cataracts caused by prednisone are usually small and usually not the type that interfere with normal vision. Prednisone can also increase the pressure of the fluid inside the eyeball, a painless condition known as glaucoma. If eyeball pressure rises high enough, vision may be permanently damaged. Blindness can result. However, once diagnosed, glaucoma can be treated with prescription eyedrops. Patients on prednisone should see their eye doctor at least once a year for a complete eye examination.

Prednisone can cause cataracts which are an opacity of the lens on the front of your eyes, and will cause blurred vision.
