I had vision problems such a double vision and a poorly tracking eye from scleritis. It also caused strong pain and light sensitivity. Used prednisolone drops. It has recurred four times. Using corticosteroid drops can be very damaging long term. I only used drops when the pain comes. as sometimes the scleritis clears up on its own.
A couple weeks ago I started using Flonase for sinus problem. I was also having a mild scleritis flare-up. Both cleared up in two days. It might be the sinus swelling caused the eye swelling. It also could be the Flonase affected the eye also - Flonase is also a corticosteroid. I'm not sure until I see the eye doctor tomorrow.
EDIT #1- Eye doc says Flonase could indeed affect the eyes - sinus and eyes are close together, but said the Flonase is about 30% safer than the prednisolone drops. It's not good for frequent or long term use. He said to try saline nasal spray and saline drops and see if they help in clearing out eye "debris" that some people call "eye boogers" I call is gunk. This is in addition to lubricating drops for dry eye
EDIT #2 - Dr diagnosed Fugue's Syndrome. Darn. It runs in my family. Since I have dry eyes from Lupus and/or Reynaud's, it aggravated the lining of the eye under the lense. It will require transplant surgery. Oh woe is me. One day at a time.
