Alison, there are a few specialists around, neuro-ophthalmologists, who specialize in this area. One of them, Jacqueline Winterkorn (my spelling of her name might not be correct) has contributed to this list from time to time. She or one of her colleagues would be your best input. I have seen a neuro-ophthalmologist, primarily because I let my eyes drift closed, which I had felt was at least in part because of my Parkinson's. His suggestion was to have my eyelids raised. I have not acted on this yet. I have also gone from glasses all the time (before my surgery) to no glasses at all (after the surgery) to distance glasses today. I have other problems too, but he did not address them. As for me, yes, I have undergone some vision changes in the past years, but I cannot trace them directly to my Parkinson's. For example I have had operations on both eyes in 2000 for cataracts. Just plain old aging itself might be a problem. It is difficult if not impossible to sort out what is causing what problems with my vision.
