Deflazacort, RP and CME

If you are like me and have CME (Cystoid Macular Edema) along with RP, you may want to discuss the pros and cons of steroid therapy with your ophthalmologist. My CME does not respond to local treatment. I find the loss of central vision very annoying because it impacts my ability to read easily. As an aside, Deflazacort is also prescribed as an anti-rejection drug.

Enter "Deflazacort and Retinitis Pigmentosa" in the search term box.
