What are your vision-related PD symptoms?

[frankaspergilus]

I was just wondering if any of you suffer with vision symptoms due to PD and how they manifest themselves, if you had them before starting PD meds and if they changed after starting PD meds.

I have some very weird visual symptoms and have had them for years. In fact, I think they were some of my very first problems and have been the hardest to treat.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

The only thing I’ve had which is new is a floater. It looks like a squashed fly LOL. It’s right in my vision but if I try to see if it moves away so to speak. It is actually a shadow perceived by the retina. It’s OK to have floaters as long as you don’t have flashing lights another symptoms. That’s what the eye doctor said anyway. But I am getting an exam too. That actually may be age related; I just have never had anything like that before. It’s probably not too helpful but FYI. 🙂

I’m frustrated to say the least . I’ve never had to wear glasses . Since diagnosed in 2011 @ 43 yrs of age, my vision has significantly declined.

My vision is directly related to how ON or OFF I am.

I’ve asked about Lasik surgery but apparently I’m not a candidate. 😩

Sorry if this sounds so down, I’m a little cranky right now…..😉

My eyes take awhile to cage (They bounce up and down till they settle down every time I blink hard to take the burn away). My lower eyelid is like a rubberband sometimes.

I have blurry vision, tnx to Sinemet and worse, is slow tracking of my left eye. In fact my prescription (reading / computer glass refraction changes from AM to PM. When I remove my glasses it still feels like I am still wearing them. Each dose of Sinemet is either a 25-250 or ½ of a 25-250 aiming for a maximum of 1000 mg of Levodopa per 24 hour period. I require as many meds in the PM as during the day.

Another symptom of PD but meds, particularly Sinemet, have also their share. Putting an end to the pineal gland disorder is the key.

My eyes feel tired, tight and dry. My script has not changed. I understand those with PSP have trouble looking down. I haven’t noted this yet, but I do worry about it. My meds do not seem to help.
