Guest guest Posted March 10, 2002 Report Share Posted March 10, 2002 Hanna, I have this problem too. I wear glass and I sometimes think I need to have them looked at. I will be doing fine and all of a sudden my vision goes blurry or I have a flash were I cant see for a second (very scary). Like you I am living with the blurry vision this is hard when I do needle work (my way of keeping my sanity thru all this). I will keep every one informed.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2002 Report Share Posted March 10, 2002 I have always had periods where my eyes are sort of watery so I can't see very well......I can't see ay extra liquid but I can feel it and my vision is like I am " :under water " . I comes and goes......after surgery I have been wondering if I need to see a neuro ophthalmologist.......I know my ophthalmologist is absolutely clueless about what I need. Alba In Dallas vision problems anyone? Hi Group, I am curious to know what all vision problems people have been diagnosed with or just some info about weird vision things you experience at times. I am also wondering how many of you consider vision issues to be a major source of fatigue and headache? M in MI chiari 1 surgery 9/99 a bunch of vision issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
