Description |
Ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) is an autoimmune condition responsive to corticosteroids. Experts recommend corticosteroids as first line immunosuppressive treatment (1); however, no guidelines exist for initial dosing. Prior retrospective reports have suggested initial doses of 40-80 mg daily (2) but also have demonstrated success at doses as low as 10 mg daily (3). The goal of this study is to determine whether initial prednisone dosing has any effect on symptoms control at 1 month. |
