Hi Dedra! I've had intermediate uveitis (pars planitis) for 16 years. My symptoms are slightly blurry vison at times, 'floaters' I see black spots and squiggles especially when looking at a light colored surface, I have dry eyes and use artificial tears, my eyes water if I am in windy conditions. My vision is actually pretty good during my eye exams. I only wear glasses for distance at night while I'm driving. I see a retinologist and have periodic steroid injections in my eyes to alleviate the symptoms. I think you should take Chris to a neuro opthamologist if you can. Sometimes the regular optho isn't as well-versed in this type of issue. I know that when my regular optho suspected my condition he immediately recommended I see a retinologist. I hope everything goes well!
