episcleritis/ sclerlitis
by bmathew, Feb 19, 2008 12:01PM
Hi,
I used to have these redness and pain in one of my eyes since 4 years. Earlier it used to occur every couple of months and usually subsides in 4-5 days with use of steroid drops. But for the last 2-3 months I have these redness and pain almost every week. I went to 3 different opthalmologist and they told me that it is episcleritis/ scleritis. The pain is unbearable that I even wake up in the middle of the night to take pain pills. I am also worried to use prednisone eye drops for long term. Any alternative treatment? Please advise.
