@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, etc., Yes, I also started at first with very dry eyes that now like you have stated have begun to feel like sand paper and no matter how much you let the eye drops flow into your eyes it never seems to help. Also have some eye pain with that.
But Depth Perception especially when it is dark has truly become a problem. Or like with moving objects like a escalator-especially going down. I think that I am just on the angry side of grief right now. For it has taken since last month for me to be started on any true Parkinsons meds and its already not safe for me to drive in the dark. Granted that started happening back in April was the first time I that I had noticed I was driving recklessly. The four cops that pulled in after me kind of confirmed that!!!
Just sucks only being 43 and knowing that you have to figure out the rest of your life from here. I was kinda hopeful that I could possibly start working again (maybe with the right med strategy) but now I am just confused and a little depressed about it again. You know, this disease is full of peaks and valleys,
So I informed my significant other that if he wanted to keep that role, the "Petty Complaining" had to leave the building!! Cause, He has been Blessed with Health and a Job and a beautiful family,
So Grow Up or Ship out!! NO TIME For NEGATIVE,,,
Thanks so much for being there, Prayers to all,,

Dry eyes one of my first symptoms. Use Systane drops now...Systane gel for nighttime. If I skip a couple nights or sleep with the cat cuddled up to my face, I will get a terrible stye....which has turned into a serious eye infection. Yes, normal people blink 70 times a minute. Parkinsons people only blink 15 times a minute...or sleep with eyelids partially open.

After 10 years it has gotten worse for me. My biggest and most uncomfortable problem with my eyes is Dry eye syndrome. My eyelids do not blink as often as they should. So many times I want to claw my eyes out!i always am so blurry, double vision, my depth perception is all screwy! Treatment? Eye drops,

Dry eyes and vision problems were a first symptom for me. Eyes burn and water so badly at times that I can't keep my eyes open. Eye drops help but during allergy season it's much worse. SO ANNOYING!
