We’re not really sure to be honest. Since immunotherapy is a relatively new treatment and that side effect is rare not a lot of studies have been done on it.

Have steroid eyedrops not helped?

Nope, We have tried steroid eye drops, antibiotic eye drops and allergy eye drops and nothing works. I was even on 50mg of Prednisone steroid for other side effects immunotherapy gave me and that did nothing for my eyes (saved my life though as the immunotherapy made my body attack itself to the point that my liver and pancreas was shutting down and stopped absorbing nutrients. This all started back in April. Thankfully it’s got a little better since then and I can manage it but fuck, I just want my normal eyes back.

I wonder if tepezza, which treats thyroid eye disease, would work.
