In response to (Ellen) (Luhman) <ManateeMother@xxxxxxx> Subject: Eye Problems Eyes feeling "weird" is not a very specific complaint! The most common problems you could be describing associated with PD are dry eyes, which can be treated with non-preserved artificial tears; essential blepharospasm, which is treated with BOTOX; convergence and divergence insufficiency, which might blur or double your vision, and can be managed with prisms. Some people with PD are more comfortable with 2 pair of glasses rather than bifocals. It is distinctly unusual to lose vision from PD, but it is important to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist since having PD does not make you immune to other unrelated eye problems. I'd be glad to comment on more specific complaints.
