I'm having the same problems trying to get doctors to listen to me. My primary care doctor says he has multiple patients with PD and never heard any of them being affected by vision problems. My opthomologist told me I shouldn't bother getting early cataracts removed, nor to get new glasses because it wouldn't help. I saw a neuro-opthomologist and she diagnosed me as having Convergence Insufficiency (double vision) but offered no help.

Even though I also have Macular Degeneration, I still have plenty of useful vision. I know I won't ever have good vision again, but I keep trying to find something that will give me some relief. I can read on the computer as long as it is in reverse video. Most people think that bigger is better, but that's not true in my case.

The vision problems due to PD are making my life a nightmare.
