kenalog injection

[sugardaddy1]

I posted a similiar question earlier but never got  a response. I had a kenalog injection in my right eye on 11/2/10 and now I am blind in that eye.I have seen my retina specialist two times since then and was told the kenalog created the problem and should clear up. Now I am taking prednisolone drops evert two hours. Has anyone else ever experianced this and how long does it take for the kenalog to dissolve. My vision in that eye was around 20/40 and it was believed that the kenalog could get my vision closer to 20/20. Which I was thrilled to hear but now I can not even see the eye chart.I will see my retina specialist next week. Thank you for your help.

Kenalog can disperse in the eye so it is possible that all your symptoms are from the kenalog BUT I want you to know that it is usually not as bad as you have stated so I'm asking you to see your retinal specialist or your general ophthalmolgist immediately to make sure there is not some other problem.

My vision has greatly improved since I posted this. Two post kenalog retina exams seemed to reveal my vision loss was due to the Kenalog. My retina special advised he has seen this before and has published on my type of response to the kenalog. I spoke with one of the retina md's in his office on Friday and she stated it usually takes a week for the kenalog to dissolve and my vision loss is just temporary.  They are excellent about working me in the same day I call of which I will do. Thank you for your words of encouragement
