Re: Eyeproblems

KF,
I seem to be more sensitive to bright light this year. With a cataract 
operation this spring and another in a year it might be just the eyes. Driving 
at night I experience a significant amount of flare, particularly from the 
bright halogen headlights. I was DX.in with PD 1997 and have added medicines to 
alleviate various symptoms. 

As for "shut out the world". That would be very subjective. I come and go do 
everything I want to. If the persons observing are put off by my symptoms, that 
is their problem. I take the attitude that if we all hide than we will all be 
forgotten. I want everyone to understand as much  as they can about the 
disease. My best opportunities  to teach are people I meet and trade with every 
day. 

Regards, Bill Lawless

  Carline has developed a peculiar problem with her eyes. she had the 
infection. I asked her if light is bothering her, she says it is not. On the 
other hand she seems to be more sensitive and asks for sunglasses when we are 
outside.

  1. Has anybody had trouble with pulling the eyes shut?
  2. Has anybody had problems with excessive light sensitivity, photophobia
  (due to the meds perhaps)?
  3. Do people with PD want to shut out the world?

  Comments appreciated.
