Blurry Vision

[Endless]

Do you suffer from blurry vision? If so, what kind?

mine is blurry around the edges. the opthamologist says my eyes are fine, but it is getting worse. my epileptologist is a bit worried about it and keeps sending me back to the opthamologist.

I want to add that my vision is blurry, but not all day long. It varies throughout the day.

I have the same problem.

Yes, add me to the list of those whose vision is blurry off and on during the day. The worst is when I wake up, sometimes takes a while before I can focus at all. Glasses make it possible to read, etc., but sometimes I wonder what's going on. I've been tested for glaucoma many times since my optic nerves are asymetrical though pressure is ok, but does not show anything.

Endless I sure hope your vision does not worsen.

Yup, blurry all over and on and off through the day. even while wearing my glasses.

Blurry sometimes like someone spread Vaseline on my eyes.
Sometime my vision is very sharp, sometimes a bit blurry, reading glasses just make me dizzy and nauseous.

Same here. Usually goes blurry for a few minutes, then rights itself. I wear prescription glasses, so this is outside my known vision problem.

You offered the choice of NO twice..hehehe.

My eyes seem to have gotten worse since I started Vimpat. I'm due another eye test in April, so I'll find out then how its affected me. I think I need new glasses anyway. My vision also varies during the day.

I am not going to add to the poll, but I will add here that Rebecca had terrible vision problems with her first med, Tegretol. Nothing showed up with the other three we tried.

Hi, Indiandairy.


Everybody - it is surprising the heck out of me that the majority of people in here have vision issues due to E or their meds. Why don't they tell us about this? "They" being our docs. Wondering how much of this is the meds, and whether it is permanent.

[RobinN]

Rebecca's doctor (at the time) told me he did not think it was related to the meds. Attempted to tell me that it was seizure activity. Duh.... due to the meds.

After that particular med was cleared from her system, she never had vision issues again.

Recently we went to get her vision checked, because she said she was having problems seeing the board at school. She checked out "almost" 20/20... so she has a cute pair of glasses when she feels she needs them.

I answered Yes, however it is a good possibility that mine is due to age. It got much worse after starting Lamictal, but I am also in my late 40s and it is close up that is blurry. Distance vision is still fine, so I think the timing with the Lamictal is coincidence.

I too have been getting blurring in one or the other eye. It is intermittent and varies in durration but happening more frequently. Doc seems to think migraine and so added another med?? Just had an eye exam in December no glaucoma so we...wait and see...no pun intended, ok, pun was worth it
