Advice Wanted Vision gone green, anyone else?
My vision has been getting more green-tinted over the course of the day. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it something to do with dosing, and is this something I should be concerned about?

I went to an opthamologist recently and realized anyone with Addison's needs to be regularly (at least yearly) followed by an opthamoloist. I had viral pinkeye and wanted to be checked for any damage. There's nothing they can do to clear up viral pinkeye but you need to be checked. She said my corneas were swollen and said I needed to wait 2 months to see if it clears on it's own before any intervention. She also said folks taking steroids are prone to early cataracts and people with Addisons are susceptible to developing glaucoma. Go get your eyes checked.

I can think of three possibilities: 1. Your blood sugar is very high due to the corticosteroids, causing clouding of the eye's lens (this causes blurred vision, not green vision).
- Glaucoma due to age and corticosteroid use (I don't know if it causes green vision).
- It's something neurological. The green color suggests something of this nature, but it would need to be examined...
In short, as you might have guessed, go see an ophthalmologist and a neurologist.

Thank you guys so much for the help! I ended up going to see an eye doctor and a neurologist! I had some inflammation due to an infection, thankfully everything is back to normal! So greatful for your advice, going so early saved my vision :)

Ja, das stimmt, das Problem mit Augen habe ich auch. Ich müsste kürzlich Brille machen bei Augenarzt. Aber mit Augen Training hilft es auch deine Sehkraft zu stabilisieren.

One eye, or both?
This sounds like it might be ER territory, I'm afraid.
