Does anyone have blurry vision with their PN? Do you just deal with it or are you treating it as something separate from PN. I decided to go see an eye doctor this week in hopes that my eyes may give a clue to the exact diagnosis.

My prescription changed within a month after getting this, which was 3yrs ago. I saw a Neuro Opthamologist(?), and I was given a different prescription. Most of my vision is clear, but with what I have (if I for sure have PN), my vision will still change with physical demands, stress, etc. I get blurry vision, but not what I used to have, since getting corrective lenses. It's not 100%, I still have things such as items across the room, etc that become blurry, but I deal with it. I can still see them, they just aren't HD. LOL You can get through this, with patience and determination.

Hi, I have not kept up with you and your symptoms, but have you had your B12 levels checked?
It seems that was symptom a cousin of mine had when B12 deficient.
I just want to say that I went through a lot of money and tests for me, and finally a dr. did some simple bloodwork that included Vitamin D. Found out I'm deficient. I'm praying it's my answer.
I've had a few people close to me tell me how B12 messed with their systems and how it was their own miracle.
Good idea to see the eye dr.

I do not have blurry vision but my eyes feel very gritty and sore. I was told I had dry eye about 2 years ago when I had my eyes tested but the gritty and stinging feeling has only been for the last couple of months. I asked my doctor if this was my SFPN and he said it is. I am now taking B12.

all the best to everyone

I don't have blurry vision but have maor eye pain and problems with spots. I have been to 11 specialist for this issue alone,mri,scans etc. They still are clueless of why I have this. I do have belpheritis and dry eye but it should not cause this level of pain. I have had a hard time getting a doc to connect the PN/RSD and the eyes. I have heard others mention though blurry with conditions like this. I hope you find a doctor to give you answers and relief. Also I wonder have you started any new meds that could contribute?

The meds I am taking can make me have blurry vision, but it was there before I started them.

I do have migraines now that kinda stay around one of my eyes and although I don't have spots, my peripheral vision looks too dim like I'm in a fog of some sort but not quite like a tunnel.

Have you been checked for diabetes? Fluxuating blood sugar can cause blurry vision

I had some blood work done on Monday and should have results by the end of the week.

It is hard to know what is connected to PN and what is seperate. I am fearful one day I am going to think it is PN or RSD but it be something seperate and have major issues. Yet at the same time if I went to the docs for everything I have has happen I would be there every day. I would see an eye doc and get a retina exam. You also may want an mri of your brain. That were steps I took when I was having eye issues. Let us know how the blood work comes out

MRI was normal. My eye exam showed no abnormalities outside me being near-sighted now. He suggested that I stop taking at least Nortriptyline since blurry vision is one of the side effects and long-term that can cause glaucoma.
