I have many eye issues and saw an ophthalmologist. He diagnosed me with ocular rosacea and blepharitis secondary to dry eye disease. I have some antibiotic ointment I use with flare ups but twice a day wash my eyes with Johnson's Baby Shampoo, as well as use a heated eye mask several times a day and regularly use PF (preservative free) eye drops and/or gel drops. These are OTC. These maintenance measures make a HUGE difference and I can certainly tell when I stop using them.
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, I'm supposed to have surgery to correct my double vision which apparently is caused by Parkinson's. I understand the surgery. My stepdaughter had had it when she was 3, but that was because the muscle wasn't strong enough, but my problem is neurological. My eyes dart all over the place, especially my left eye. I'm going to ask my doctor again how surgery of my muscle is going to solve a neurological problem.
My eyesight is real bad I wear progressive lenses but I wore glasses way before I was diagnosed
Are you experiencing eye movement issues related to Parkinson's?

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member Yes thank you. I know an Ophthalmologist is an actual medical doctor who specializes in eye and vision care while an optometrist is a doctor of optometry who focuses primarily on regular vision care. They are not one and the same. Because of Parkinson's I will most likely need to be referred from the Ophthalmologist to a neuro-ophthalmologist.
