Is PD Effecting Your Vision?

For some time I've had trouble focusing my eyes. Some times I have to close one eye to see things at my side, even when I turn my head. If things are too far to my side I see double.

Hi Judy, if your jumpy eyes make you read the same thing over again, that's not all bad. At our age, we probably don't remember what it said anyway.

There is nothing better for the Inside of a man, and the outside of a horse.

My father-in-law was a horse trainer. My daughter at 10 years old was training horses for the Neighbors. All of my life I've had horses until recently.

It is always good to talk horses, with another horse lover.

Parkinson’s weakens the
Muscles around the eye that allow your eyes to focus.

Yes! I had my annual eye exam last summer and the optometrist said my prescription did not change (distance and readers). However, not long after the appointment I began to have trouble focusing my eyes. I am still having issues but the eye drops he gave me help. I just want my eyes to focus better.
Ugh 😫...
I truly believe it is due to the PD.
Enjoy your Sunday 🤗
