What Causes Tunnel Vision While Treating Uveitis?

Eye trouble. I have Uveitis for the 2nd time in a year. I am using prednisone drops 6 times a day. The last few days I have seen a flashing light in the corner of my eye every so often. When I wake up from being asleep, I have tunnel vision in my eye for a minute or so and then it goes away. Is this common with uveitis? Should I be worried about retinal detachment or glaucoma?
