Description |
The literature suggests high-dose steroids have a protective effect in preserving vision in giant cell arteritis (GCA), however, the optimal dose has not been well elucidated. Clinical observation has noted that prior use of corticosteroids may result in less GCArelated visual dysfunction. Our hypothesis was that patients with corticosteroid use prior to visual dysfunction had a dose dependent benefit with improved visual outcomes in comparison to patients not on prior corticosteroids. |
