Yep.I`m the same.Tried different contact lenses...still seem as if i`m on a permanent lsd trip.Last time I went to my optician I told him and said
"Look..if you`re going to have to fit lenses which are like marbles don`t bother...I`ll gouge my eyes out instead." Had to pick him up off the floor. Reminded me of Billy Connelly`s rendition of a man in a Reliant Robin car...with Prescription Windscreen!!! How funny would THAT be? But sure...it is annoying in all serousness but I wonder about drug side effects.We tend to blame the illness but folk bring me back to thinking about the cocktail of drugs we folk are on.Our brain receptors must wonder whether they are coming or going. Interesting question.Will stick with the replies in the hope some bright spark comes up with a cause. Best of luck. |

Artane has warning about vision change as possible side effect. I wouldn't be surptised if Amantadine could have same effect on some people.

Have had vision issues predating dx, too many new lens prescriptions, spare pairs of specs everywhere - intermittent blurriness, and sometimes a fading of vision. Opthalmologist said this is lack of dopamine in the eyes - sinemet improves it, new lenses don't! Well, for me at least. Everyone is different, so this may not be your problem, but it seems to me that I have met an awful lot of people online who have experienced blurry and/or troublesome vision. Also exacerbated by very slow re-focusing, and slow eye movements in general when undermedicated.

I take mucuna as my l-dopa source and have noticied that occasionaly when i am over-doped, ie. wheen consecutive doses seem to pile up, my vision gets quite blurry, and sort of like everything is obscured by smoke. So I lay off the bean (mucuna) and it clears right up.
