I wanted to ask what problems people have had with their eyes. I have just gone through a real bad patch again (I always do when I am having my period) I am feeling better today but have noticed over last couple of nights that my vision is fuzzy and I cant focus on books etc or when I am reading and I look up it takes me a minute to focus. I wear contacts and I thought it was them at first but it is the same in my specs. Any advice?

HI JDM
I too get blurry/fuzzy/odd vision when having a rough patch - I went for eye test and still have 20/20 vision so there's nothing actually physcially happening to my eyes - no one can really explain it. I think there was a thread about this not so long back too - will try and dig it out x

Hi JDM
I had this too- I even stopped reading really for a while ( I joined here or started reading posts here, when I had been ill for about 6 months).
My vision is ok again now - perhaps a bit affected by PMS, but otherwise ok.
I'm sorry I have no advice, only know that it improved for me and hope it does for you again soon
Hopefulxx

I also suffer from this too - at the beginning I was visiting my optician every so often to get it checked out, until I realised I had PNI. I found it was at it's worst when I was sleep deprived and as soon as I'd managed to catch up on some sleep it would improve.
I'm sorry I don't have any more advice than to rest, as I know how hard it is to rest with a little one!!! Just wanted to say things to improve, I promise xx

Me too! It almost like everything is slightly out of focus. And I get floaters in my vision too. And the occasional flashing light. Oh lucky me! Some days seem worse than others. But even on good days it is still a little odd (does anyone else still get symptoms on otherwise good days?).

Hello sixfootblonde,
I thought I was loosing the plot or hallucinating, but I get the floaters too. I get like black and see through shapes moving over my eyes, this only happens when I am outside. When I am in the house I see the odd flashing light and dark lines. You know when you look at the sun or a bright light, when you look away you get spots in your vision, its like that for me most of the time even when I have not been looking at bright lights. Some days do seem worse than others. I notice that when i am feeling very low the vision disturbances get worse. I also see things in the corner of my eye's its really disturbing !!!! I am releaved to know it's not just me experiencing this !!!

i get this to , at the start of pni i had it real bad for ages , had loads of tests , the floaters worried me the most as i thought it was degeneration but then as i started to feel better it went and then i didnt have it for ages , since i have got pregnant though i have it again but only when my morning sickness is real bad like this morning , loads of floaters , cant make out writing and the forum text looks fuzzy to ,
monica had terrible trouble with her eyes to like pressure , its been very common on here over the last few years anyway and it does get better , you can kind of relate to how ure feeling by the state of your eyesight at times

Hey Fran, Thanks for your reply. I have been so worried about the floaters. Think it is a brain tumour causing havoc again. My eyesight is not right. Opticians say 20/20 but with the floaters it is odd. I am so glad to hear you got over them! And congratulations on your pregnancy!!! When are you due? Woo hoo

Hi
Don't get me started on the vision probs!!! That was my second symtpm of PNI - first the pressure round my eye, then the spacey feeling then something with my eyes. It was like I couldn't focus and got double vision upwards, sensitivity to light, aches round the eyes not to mention headaches. Quite a few people complain that their vision worsens with PNI . I had my eyes checked out by the opticians and went to 3 different eye clinics as I was completely obsessed by it, they all said my eyes were perfect!
Now I'm much better, althugh have noticed that tiredness and if feeling run down it worsens again. But the brain tumour thing, that was another obsession.
Get it chekced out, though, just to put your mind at ease.
Love
Monica

Hi
I had a similar experience to Monica - pains around the eye socket on one side and strange headaches/ vision problems that made me fear the worst e.g. stroke, brain tumour etc. But it does improve. Getting things checked can help to reassure.
Love HopefulX

Hi SammyJo, Sorry I skipped over your post. I am having a bad site day and think I may have a serious problem so thought I would read all your experiences to make me feel better Mine is exactly as you described SammyJo - like I have just looked at the sun. But it happens all the time. In the evenings I get blurred bits instead of dark bits. My balance is also VERY slightly off. Anybody else get slight balance issues? Hello sixfootblonde, I thought I was loosing the plot or hallucinating, but I get the floaters too. I get like black and see through shapes moving over my eyes, this only happens when I am outside.

Hi
Yes, I also get balance problems as well as blurred vision. I have to say the blurred vision - problems with focusing have improved, even though the other symptoms keep coming back to bite me on the bum!
I have a long running problem with my eyesight called keratoconus and because of my blurry vision after having my little one have had to have 6 month check ups to keep an eye on it. Thankfully, today was my last one (little one is 2 in 2 weeks) and my optician has agreed that it's all down to PNI and nothing else.
The balance thing was sorted out last February as being another symptom of PNI as I was sent for a CT scan to ensure that it wasn't anything ENT related.
I hope this helps xxxxxxxxxx

I went ot see my GP yesterday and he ran the usual brain checks to see if I was weak etc. He said there was absolutely nothing wrong with me which would make him think I have a brain tumour. But he is going to get a blood test done to check my thyroid as there is a transitory disorder which tends to affect women after they have had a baby. You might want to check it out (sorry if you have already!). www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000388.htm
