Just wanted to add,

I've been diagnosed with several corneal ulcers since having crps.
I have never worn contacts, so I don't know how I keep getting them,

Welcome and hope we in some way can help you and also,provide you with some comfort and relief when much need it.
Many medications affected sour viewing ,specially those who causes bluer vision and obviously we forces our eyes to focus objects more than usual.medications as well can create a series of eye discomfort and also keep,in mind the brain is mostly controlling rsd I'm sure has a lots to do with the sight changes.
I will ask my optometrist to do a check up and if you already had on,mention your rsd and dr might consider to take a picture of the inside part of your eye and follow up the changes,my dr explained me ,changes often happens due to age ,little at the time ,but with neurological conditions those changes can happen more quickly than usual and also consider the meds side effects , a check up I will say might be the best option for now to create a profile and do in fact follow any possible changes .
In my case changes where noticed from one year of difference and was please by knowing that what's real and my medications formed a huge impact for that to happens, a good optometrist can made such of difference ,my gladly reacted positive to the suggestion of rechecked my twice and listened when I mentioned RSD,so try it and hope soon an explanation will finally answer that still puzzling question .
Gentle and soft hugs,with love Jesika .

Red face RSD,double vision,and now iritis

I have had various eye sx throughout my 16 yrs with RSD. Since the sympathetic nervous sx enervates the eyes it is no surprise to me that our eyes are bothered. I had severe double vision 14 years ago and was hospitsalized for 10 days with one of the worst pain episodes I have ever had.
but this time I have developed iritis.Had very brief episode of double vision the other day.I am going to the Cleveland Clinic this Wednesday as there are few uveitis/iritis specialists.
i am vdery weak with this episode of RSD & severe nausea.I have also had breathing issues this time. it seems many organ systems are being affected with this flare. I am very concerned about that. i am also a non-practicing RN so I have medical background,this has been a great help in dealing with horrible doctors and other medical personnel. I know i saved my own life at least once.

Hi Sunflower - Welcome! And thank you for sharing your story. I am very interested in learning more about how CRPS can impact vision. Where was your original CRPS site? I hope the Cleaveland Clinic visit is beneficial for you. Let us know what you learn.
Wishing you wellness, Lottie

I get severe burning in my eyes and the water so bad that they swell double the size. When my RSD first went full body and hit my face my eyes got so bad they bulged and I had several small hemorrhages. They have also noticed the back if my eye normally it has a crisp line around the cornea where one of mine is blurred. I was given eye drops with prednisone in it to help stop the burn and inflammation but sometimes that doesn't even help. Other then that I have perfect 20/20 vision which I swear it got better as there are times they are so sensitive that I can read in the dark.
