Anavar and Eyes

I'd like to try a short course in Anavar 101 sometime around April or sooner. One question that I have is whether or not anavar could complicate my glaucoma. It is currently controlled by medication (eye drops) but is a chronic condition which is here to stay.

One reason this concerns me is that my opthalmologist, who checks the pressure in my eyes every 3 months, already suspects that I use steroids. I have never used, but he sees my muscles and concludes otherwise. Further, I've already had cataracts removed in both eyes, a problem that can apparently occur from steroids use...or says my doctor.

He also says that I'm at high risk for retinal detachment, and tells me that someday it will happen. (He can possibly do a little laser work in my eyes to prevent this if he catches it in time--another reason he checks me every three months.) Anyway, he knows I lift weights and doesn't see a problem with that, but won't let me participate in sports like diving, or in anything where I could get hit in the head. He has never said, "Don't use steroids." But I'm not inclined to ask him, either. Do any of you experts here know how/if anavar affects the eyes, specifically with regard to glaucoma?

Hey girl
some less common side effects of LONG term usage of androgenic steroids are in fact eye problems..

However, everything i know about anavar, it is far too mild to cause any complications to your glaucoma.. can't you ask your doctor? or is that still taboo??

the only negative i know of anavar is that it can increase your cholesterol and it is slighty hard on the liver.. but they prescribe anavar for both cancer and aids patients.. and it does wonders for compromised immune systems.. so honestly i can not imagine it affecting your glaucoma negatively..

But the great thing about anavar is it has a short half life ~8hours so if for some crazy ass reason, you do see a problem, you immediatly stop before ramifications begin

hope that helps a bit.. but i would feel better if you could confront your doctor..

This is all very helpful Supergirl. Thanks. Yes, I'd feel better if I could confront my doctor, too...maybe I'll try the indirect approach with him. He's great, but verrrry cautious.

For what it's worth, I couldn't dig up any studies that showed anavar to be detrimental to the eyes, but that's nothing new.

First , I don`t know a thing about Anvar or likes , but still I`d like to ask a question if it`s not too personal......
From the various posts by u I`ve gathered u being a well eduacated(at least sport-wise) and seasoned bodybuilder. Same can be said about your picture(it`s u in the avatar right?).
Since you been around for guite a long time in our sport and achieved a nice muscular body and as u say drug-free , why do you want to turn in the drugside now?
don`t be offended or anything , I simply want to know.
I`m not to judge u or anyone else about this subject, but I`m curious.... so... can u tell ?

Yep Hanuri, that is her in the avatar.
