My eye doctor has had me on Pred Forte for months. Now my IOP is high. My question is how long does it typically take for pressure to go down once you discontinue Pred Forte?

Generally the effect will wear off over several months but I have had one patient where it took 4 months to go away and cases are in medical journals where the glaucoma is permanent.
