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


george--
my eyes are one of the many things that are a bother. these past three
months i've been doubling up on my vision. prior to that  it was
various  sized and shaped spots skittering about like insects and mice.
dr. said it was "old age " have an appointment  in september at VA
facility. they are getting my entire history. maybe  at that time i'll
find if pd has anything to do with it.

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,

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

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
