Kenalog shots and blindness?!

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone has experienced any negative eye issues/blindness with receiving the Kenalog shots in the scalp? I have heard that some people have become blind for these shots in the scalp!! I got some more shots this Monday and my eyes feel like they are burning a little bit but otherwise they are ok. Please give me any feedback if you know someone that has experienced eye issues or not! If you have not had any eye issues with the shots, let me know as well! Thanks!!

I did Kenalog shots for about 1 1/2 years and never had any problems with them.

Hi,

I was diagnosed with AA within months of my baby being born. I was pretty sick with preeclampsia & was delivered 2 months early, I think that may have triggered my AA.

I did the shots for 1&1/2 years & I had full regrowth. I stopped about 6 months ago to try for another baby & I'm now looking into a wig as I just can't deal with this anymore.

My derm said the use of kenalog shots can lead to cateracts. Not a good thing so I'm happy to be off them.

How is your hairloss? Contact me with any questions, I'd be glad to offer support.
