KF I developed eye problems about a year after my DBSs.. Excessive watering and double vision which the ophthalmologist says is due to cataracts which are not ready to be removed yet. I wear progressive lenses. Boy is it annoying. It is unclear whether this or my speech difficulty is DBS/PD related or not. This disease has way too many symptoms.
