Visoin issues

[neta]

Hi

are visual disturbances related to ataxia treated anywhere? XXN

[Larobby]

I am also interested in finding out more about what remedies there are for ataxia related diplopia

[neta in reply to Larobby]

What is diplopia??

[Larobby in reply to neta]

Sorry, it's double vision

[SamGH]

Yes. To a degree. A optholomist will be able to give prisms to adjust for double vision or you can even get squint surgery. Ask your gp

[neta in reply to SamGH]

Really? Where? What country? What city? Thanx N

[SamGH]

In the UK every major hospital has an eye unit. For best advice see an ataxia clinic and associated Neuro optholomist

[neta]

Thanx SGH for both answers

I have prisms in my spectacles. I thought the top of the visible sapling had two branches sticking up. After new specs, I can confirm in sharp focus, it does.

Ask your specialist about CANVAS. Some people were told SCA but in the last couple of years a condition called CANVAS has been named.
