A member asked:
How long does it take for side affects from taking prednisone to wear off, blurrd vision ect.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Prednisone causes a focusing instability most prominent when the dosage is either increasing or decreasing. At steady state or if out of your system, it take generally two months to stabilize. If the blurred vision is from long term use with cataract formation, then the blur will remain until they are surgically removed.
