My mom's eyesight has gradually worsened since her diagnosis of Parkinsonism in early 1996 - especially blurring of her eyesight as she describes it. To date, my dad and I have figured that it was a result of the medications she has been taking. If it might be something else at the cause, it might be worth looking into.

I have blurred vision (both near and far) for the most part corrected with prism lenses. Most important, I have an opthamalogist who specializes in movement disorder neurological problems. His name is Andrew Berman, MD and he has offices in Skokie, IL. He might be helpful in providing more information on this subject. His office # is 847/677-1631Nancy Shlaes deGrazia
