Shorthair's question about Eye Displacement

Question

My cat's eyes look like she's wearing coke bottle lenses. The fronts of her eyes appear to have distended fluid filled lumps that affect her vision. Previous treatment the veterinary ophthalmologist performed was to sew her inner eyelid shut for three weeks and have me put sodium chloride 5% in her other eye. I've continues to do this twice a day but now her eyes look worse and I'm concerned she's going blind. She was miserable in that e-collar for three weeks and I'd prefer not putting get through that again. What other treatment options are available? The vet seems to think the fluid buildup is a side effect of the long term prednisalone.

Accepted Answer

Without seeing Mimao, I really don't know what might be going on with her eyes, but that does sound quite dramatic.  If the current therapy isn't working, she should have a recheck to have them re-examined and see what might be going on.  If you are able to see a specialist, that would be best for her at this point.  I hope that all goes well for her.
