Not long at all, Elizabeth---there is definitely a connection between PD
and vision problems. If you check the PIEN archives you'll find many
posts about it, and blurred vision is common.
The correct address of the archives is now, http://parkinsn.coles.org.uk/,
As John Cottingham has mentioned, there's a search box on his site at,
http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/maillist.html,
Which in fact searches the same places as http://parkinsn.coles.org.uk/.,
the old address.
Hope this helps----and don't hesitate to write again---
