  I’m seeing LEMS vision problems

  Posted by MG Community Member on December 16, 2020 at 1:00 pm

  Vision is a biggie amongst the five senses. Unfortunately, Lambert-Eaton is known to cause problems with eye muscles and those surrounding the eye. Included problems are ptosis (droopy eye lid), blurred vision, and double vision. I believe I’ve experienced two of them, blurry vision, and double vision. How about you? For me, the double vision has been very infrequent and most annoying early on as I was getting up on my treatment plan. Since the plan has stabilized, I’ve not had a double vision issue. Blurry vision, on the other hand, does happen at times. The degradation can be subtle, but other times I have difficulty reading signage along grocery aisles. Very annoying. When my vision gets very sharp, it’s almost shocking because I didn’t realize it hadn’t been. I hope that makes sense. Here’s an article on ptosis, the one vision issue I haven’t had. How about you?
