Many community members responded to the question about vision problems with Parkinson's, confirming that blurred vision, double vision, dry eyes, and trouble focusing are widely shared experiences. Several members offered helpful solutions, including prism lenses prescribed by a neurological eye specialist, using a Kindle with enlarged text and backlighting for easier reading, and trying audiobooks as an alternative. A recurring theme was that Parkinson's affects everyone differently, so seeing an eye doctor who understands neurological conditions was strongly encouraged.

D/Marie3: Try a Kindle for reading. Print can be enlarged; back lighting makes print stand out & can be read in dark; pages swiped instead of turned; less weight & capable of holding entire library; definitions available at the touch of a finger; books instantly available; books usually cost less than paper copies; and many more advantages.

A few years ago, I began seeing double. PD caused my eyes to not align correctly. My ophthalmologist prescribed that I have new glasses made with a prism in each lens to correct my vision. I can still drive, something I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.
