Re: HELP - Have you had this problem before? Any suggestions?

[Sue Weiler <sweiler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes George, i have had double vision problems, too.  very annoying  but also
very scary because mine happened while i was driving.   i was seeing cars
that were in the other lane as if they were coming right at me and the lines
in the road seemed to cross instead of beeing straight ahead of me.
 i went to my eye doctor and he put prisms in my glasses.  that has worked
very well for about a year, but i an noticing it has returned.  it seems to
be the worst when i'm tired.
i am due for another checkup when i will ask him if the prisms can be
stronger.

hope this helps,
sue from wisconsin

Hello all,
 
Has anyone had PD related vision problems? Seeing double?
 
I have occasional double vision problems. It is more frequent on days when I
do not enough sleep - more frequent around bright lights, watching TV, and
on the computer.
 
I went to a nuero-ophthalmologist who said that occasional double vision was
related to PD and the only suggestion he gave me was to cover one eye when
it
happens - he checked me out any said that everything else was OK. He did not
know anything else I could do.
 
Does anybody have any other suggestions?
 
Thanks,
 
George
