Does Ocular Myasthenia Gravis progress to generalized Myasthenia Gravis?
About eight out of ten patients with Ocular Myasthenia Gravis proceed to develop generalized MG. The longer a patient remains with only ocular symptoms, the more likely it is that it will not become will not generalized. Unfortunately, there is no clear answer on how to prevent general disease. Some neurologists believe that using prednisone to treat ocular symptoms may decrease the chance of generalization, but this has not been established with any certainty.
