what can I expect
I have developed posterior uveitis in my right eye. It has further become complicated with cystoid macular edema. I am currently on ocular prednisone acetate 6 hourly. My near vision has improved slightly with the steroids. I occasionally feel pain in my left eye sometimes. I am also seeing floaters in my left eye. My ophthalmologist says it appears to be normal. What more should I do? Is it OK to read, watch TV and use the comp?

The pressure in your eye, unlike your blood pressure, is not affected by being overweight, diet, etc.

Thank u. I further got to know just yesterday that my affected eye has increased intraocular pressure, about 30. My dr. thinks it is because of oral prednisone. I am slightly overweight and I follow a daily exercise regimen. Do I have to change anything in my lifestyle to avoid incresing the pressure in my eye?
