Amongst a whole load of other things I am experiencing eye problems as well. My eyes appear to be jittering fast from side to side which makes me feel sick and dizzy. Also at night time I've temporarily lost the sight in my right eye. An optician has said I don't have nystagmus but do have some tremor in there and may have some loss of blood supply, so recommending further specialist tests on my eyes. It's not pleasant what we go through, but so far the suggestion is it's all part of the FND.
Does anyone out there have anything similar or any ideas what's going on?

My FND does affect my eye sight. I have terrible day time vision due to pupils being slow to respond and being too open. Among other things, my eyes to not track well either.
I also struggle with my vision and eyes as well. I continued searching after being diagnosed with FND. I had the Western Blot blood test and realized I have Lyme and other tick borne illnesses, which are Bartonella ( which can really effect eyes), Babesia and Mycoplasma for myself. I had to step out of the conventional medical to learn about this. The symptoms for FND and Lyme are extremely similiar.
I suffer with blurred vision along with many symptoms I rub my eyes and blink a lot thinking that would make it better as we try everything. I know when I'm going to go paralysed I get double vision.
There's an article by D. Kaski about cranial functional disorder. It explains all my eye problems including blurry, double vision ,pain with eye movement, problems scanning... Published 2015 it comes up right away on search and says how it's a less focused or known area of FND
