I posted last night in my other thread (double vision) that the vision in my right eye had gotten worse yesterday and that I had called my eye dr. about it. I just got home from my 2nd visit with him in a week, and both the vision and the astigmatism had worsenend since last Wed. He said the optic nerve still looked good. B/c I can not see out of my glasses on the right side or out of my right contact, he gave me a new contact lens for the right eye for my "current" prescription & astigmatism. I'm supposed to call him Friday to let him know if there has been any change, and I go back to see him next week.

He knows that I've been having bladder issues and that I had the urodynamics testing done last week. I told him that the tech who did the test said the problems were most likely due to the nerves working overtime. He seems to think that the vision problem *may* be related to my bladder issues. The reason he thinks that is b/c sometimes when you have bladder issues, it's possible that it can mess up your blood sugar, which in turn affects the vision. Hmmmm....

So, opinions?

Who knew there could be a connection between your vision and your bladder?

You took the words right outta my brain: Hmmmmm.

Hope things improve quickly for you.

So sorry, Jennifer. I guess the nerves are all connected, somehow??

I hope this is all resolved for you soon..

Jennifer, here's a link that might be of interest: http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/diplopia.html

I'm sorry you're going through this and hope it resolves soon!

Thanks for the link. Interesting, but he said the astigmatism could be causing the double vision. And the double vision only occurs when I close my "good" eye and look out of the right eye, not when I'm looking out of both eyes.

I hope that's the case and that on Friday you'll be posting good news.
