She developed an ulcer on her rt Iris and after treatment has diminished site and is practically blind in that eye. left eye was good but developed a fibron clot and is blind in that eye. Dr. says that may go away and site be restored. He has her on Predisone for pain. She has lost control of her bladder. Is predisone causing this loss of bladder control?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Yes prednisone cause loss of control over bladder. Because it contain steroid and steroids affects the bladder smooth muscle which lead to loss of control.
It can be prevented by using lower possible dose and by pelvic floor strengthening exercise.
But other cause like prostate enlargement, stone and tumor in urinary tract, prostatitis, constipation, neurological disturbance should be excluded by consulting the urologist.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
