Right eye stuck on right side of socket
I'm very happy to have found this site and hoping someone on here may have the same problem I am experiencing and maybe will be able to give me some advice. I'll try to be short and to the point. In Sept. 2014 I noticed my sight was a little blurred and went to my eye doctor (I wear bifocals) and she sent me immediately to Emory Eye Center. In the course of a few days, my right eye settled into the right corner of my eye. With effort I can move it to the middle, but nothing past the middle of the socket towards my nose. They call it INO. My eyes do not track together because of this so everything is blurred and double and triple vision. I wear a patch so I can see (and not scare people). So, in the last six months, I have seen three neuro opthos, and am now seeing a neuro. I have had three MRIs and a T3 MRI, an MRA, an EMG and I am scheduled for a single fiber EMG this coming Tuesday. I had a biopsy on the muscle behind the eye to ensure no cancer or any other problems showed up through this test. I have had ten or more blood tests for probably everything that it could possibly be, and everything is negative. The neurologist was/is convinced I have MS even though no lesions show up in the MRI. My neuro-optho still thinks that it is MG. They put me on Mestinon for two weeks and it did nothing for my eye or improve my stamina or strength at all (just trips to the bathroom side effects). At this point they have run out of tests and are not sure what is wrong (the EMG next week might show something) so they will probably try some kind of steroid treatment - IV or pills - to see if that might help my eye work properly again. Treating without a diagnosis basically. I am just wondering, hoping, that someone else out there might have this same eye problem and what you found out about it. They mention surgery to correct the eye somewhat and then they can fit me with special lens glasses to see. I am so frustrated and depressed - what caused this and can't anyone figure it out and fix it?? I trust the doctors at Emory and feel as though they have done everything to try and figure it out - but I can't be the first person to have an eye go haywire with no explanation. Thanks for any input. Tim
