Members responded to Bean's question about finding an eye specialist for Parkinson's disease by pointing toward neuro-ophthalmologists, with one member sharing they were already seeing one and facing surgery. Several members offered practical suggestions, including starting with a regular eye doctor for a referral, trying the vitamin Lutein with Zeaxanthin, and asking a movement disorder specialist like those at Johns Hopkins for guidance. Bean later shared that their symptoms included double vision and tired, blurry eyes, and a member helpfully suggested that prism lenses might offer relief.

Thanks all for your input. I have an appointment with a regular eye doctor first and then he might refer me to a neuro opthalmologist. My only symptoms are double vision when reading and my eyes are always tired and blurry. Bean

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, You need a neuro-ophthalmologist. Mine has decided that I need surgery.

The double vision may be fixable with a prism in your eyeglass lenses.
