Yes, Parkinson's disease can affect eyesight in several ways.

Some people with Parkinson's experience vision changes including:

- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Loss of sensitivity in perceiving color and contrast

Additionally, visual hallucinations are a common non-motor symptom. Many people see shadows or images in their peripheral vision (corner of the eye). These hallucinations can include silhouettes of people, animals, or objects that aren't actually there.

If you're experiencing vision changes or hallucinations, it's important to discuss them with your doctor. Sometimes these symptoms can be related to medications or the disease itself, and there may be treatment options available to help manage them.
