Suggest Remedy For Eye Problem

Hi. I'm 38/5'6/460lbs and have high blood pressure. On March 6, I woke up with severe eye pain in my right eye. On the 11th, I woke up basically unable to see out of that eye. Now it is May 8th, and my Neuro wants to to go on prednisone 3 times per day. I don't know the dosage yet, haven't picked them up. I've read a lot of peope say you should take IV steriods first, but I have no insurance. I've had an MRI, CT and spinal. All came back clean. I am fighting for my vsion here. Any ideas?
