@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. Hello Sondra. I have double vision occasionally. I was referred to a neuro ophthalmologist as well. I made an appointment to see him and found that he was treating everyone with double vision with the very same method and gave everyone the same diagnosis. I concluded that his practice could have been a racket. He herded in somewhere around 100 patients a day. I also concluded that I may not have needed him at all and that my double vision was caused by either a medication I was taking or when my eyes get tired I have double vision. In my opinion, the treatment I received from him was totally ineffective and a waste of time and money and resources. His prognosis was that there would be an 80% improvement within six months. I have had no such improvement. You may find a reputable neuro-ophthalmologist available but you should research them first and make sure that it's not some kind of a rip off such as the one I was treated by. Sterling

My husband has problems with double vision. The Eye Dr. added "prism" to his glasses and it helped quite a bit.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. I'm not saying that this is your problem but it could be Blefarious or Blepharitis. I have had this happen to me. However, we all have a tendency to get "waxy" around the eyes and eyelashes. This waxy substance does not wash away easily and can build up bacteria around the lashes and brows. Consequently, we will eventually get this stuff in our eyes, coating our eyes with this oil and making everything hazy and blurry. We rub and that makes things worse. The remedy for this foggy, bleary eyed vision problem is to wash your eyes, lashes and brows with baby shampoo..three or 4 times each time and make sure there is no more waxy build up remaining. Do this at least 3x per week...say every other night. Did the eye doctor give you eye drops so your eyes won't get so dry? If not, you can get Muro128 eye drops at Walgreen's or CVS to moisten the eyes. Well wishes. Sterling

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member Were the prism lenses prescribed by a regular ophthalmologist or by a neuro-opthalmologist. The reason I ask is: I had cataract surgery on both eyes when it was done the ophthalmologist told me I had almost 20/20 vision in my eyes, after about a year my vision was not good.my vision is cloudy like there is always a fog and also experienced a double vision, not all the time. has anyone had the same experience as I have and what did you do to relive the problem. Your input is much appreciated.
