I have all sorts of focusing troubles. I talked to my neuro about it and was told that the focusing muscles in your eyes aren't of the 'voluntary' type and so they aren't affected by MG. Meanwhile, seeing clearly is becoming more difficult. I'd like to hear more on this topic.

The eye muscles are slow to adapt to the head position change and take a few seconds to adjust. It's a normal part of MG and indicates that your eye muscles are weaker. In my case, that was one of my first MG symptoms.

I definitely have varying degrees of focusing ability depending on how weak I am at the moment. I also noticed one day when I came outside from having plasmapheresis and was feeling quite good, that my vision was super clear, as if I had put on the perfect pair of glasses. When I was in an exacerbation back in January, I could not see words on the TV, they were so blurry.
