This responds to Joyce & June's entries regarding PD related vision. Well darn...but I've got alot of vision trouble. I was diagnosed at age 36,now I'm 42. About age 35 my eyes were getting tired (vision) so my opthamologist said I suddenly had a stagmatism on one eye I hadn't had a year before (I had perfect vision to that point). Over the last 7 years of PD, I've never taken sinamet..so I can't blame that. I've relied on Eldypryl and last year started on the drug study Pramepexole. Still in child bearing age - a diuretic usually given to epiileptics was prescribed to me to tame the bad PD days. That medicine caused silver spots at the 2 outter sidees of my vision, double vision, jagged "stop and goes" when my eyes read across a line, and off & on extreme blurriness. I'm regularly seeing an opthamologist who tells me "it's the muscles of the eyes due to PD causes eyes to see crossed - but brain retrains it's vision interpretors to see "as iff vision wasn't crossed anymore, when in reality muscles still crookked. Sorry, can't do a thing about it - more PD medicine might do the trick:" I also have eyelids that close, heck! Oh well...
