Arch Neurol 60:243-248, Kupersmith,M.J.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
At 2 years, prednisone treatment appears to reduce the incidence of generalized myasthenia gravis to 7% in contrast to 36% of patients who did not receive prednisone. Thymoma, although uncommon, occurs in ocular myasthenia gravis. Only sma ll amounts of edrophonium are needed to diagnose ocular myasthenia gravis.
