2nd Visit to Eye Dr.
 

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. :hug:

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

I hope this is all resolved for you soon..:hug:

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! :hug:

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. :)
