I am getting prisms in my glasses to help. It is manageable and I have learned to live with the quirks. If I have a bad vision day, I put ice bags on my eyes and it helps.

I am more concerned with my leg muscle fatigue, breathing and swallowing problems. They are less predictable. My eyes are much more constant and stable.

I too have the leg weakness and fatigue although they have been markedly reduced since starting Mestinon. Some days I feel like I can walk a mile, other days I have little energy or stamina at all. I'm not complaining because before I had no good days at all.
