Thanks for the advice Rosemary,

Think I will pop down the Chemist! And see what happens with eye over next few months before planning anything. I know that pregnancy can increase oculor pressure so i think i'll be on safe side for the next few months! Will def check about the steroids tomorrow with doc.

Lucy :)

hi lucy,
I asked the same question and was told that once you are off the medication --there are no known complications . This time period will vary, but i was only on steroids for about 8 weeks.

For me the most satisfying thing was that my uncorrected vision is now much better (if only in one eye) and it will certainly be easier to do those night duties without having to pop a lens in.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes..
Melissa
