I'm wondering if CRPS really can affect eyesight and eyes in general? It seems like since my dx of crps and specifically in the past month or two, my distance vision is getting worse and worse. I feel like I need a whole new Rx for my glasses and it hasn't been all that long since my last one!
Maybe it's just age. After all, I am 45 years old and I hear your eyesight just goes downhill from there!  As it is, I wear progressive lens glasses.
Also, I have noticed that when I get tired, my right eye starts to hurt and squint kind of all on its own and I have a hard time keeping it open.
Any ideas? Experiences? Thoughts and/or suggestions? 
Thanks a ton for any and all responses!  |
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear you are having vison problems. My daughter who has
CRPS has also been having problems with her vision. According to H.
Hooshman MD a well known RSD expert RSD patients frequently develop
blurrring of vision, reading difficulty, problem with focusing, dizziness in the
form of vertignous attacks ( either the body or the objects moving around).
As well as hearing problems such as buzzing in the ear ( tinnitus)
You can read his additional comments by googling RSD puzzle list which
will take you to his list. As others have commented other factors may
come into play other than RSD so the better part of valour would be
to have a through eye examination by an ophthalmologist. Hope this
helps. Good luck.
