After 4 days once again faced same issue then took steroid injection and detected mog antibodies positive, taking steroids using tablet form till now 30 mg , now as per doctor suggestion need to tapping and stopped.
My question how can I easily identify it something goes wrong ?
First time it was both eyes and second time only left eye , second time after stopping steroid I observe slightly dark spot in left eyes means some dark spot is there what I feel .
Please help me how to identify easily so that avoid steroid injection.
