See an ophthamologist. You may have cataracts or glaucoma. There are medications to help these conditions. You probably had optic neuritis at some point and the damage that was done is just now showing itself.

Hi Natasha, my mom is legally blind from MS. She has been for years. It was a progressive situation, not all at once. I too have MS and am beginning to have issues with my eyes. I know your post is over two years old but I was wondering how it happened with you and has your eyesight improved any. Thank you.

You must be a doctor! They are the only ones that speak of a GOOD Prognosis. So if someone can't get GP, then they should have been born with better gene's! I hope everyone can one day be aided irregardless of personal wealth. Yeah,the eye's are the windows for the brain.
Proper treatment's for BigPharme's, wallet.

Thanks for the suggestion! That'a a "cool" handle you've given yourself Lioness! What can this doctor say but he has MS? They are unable to do anything else except take part of my dwindling funds. You can also detemine if ADD or other neurologic impairment through looking through the eye.s. But once again, they can't give you a "magic" pill to cure your malaise. Maybe one day!

Stay Strong! I have been undiagnosed with my vision problem's since I can still see if I close one eye. At least until it gets tired, which is about thirty minutes. It's the weakness in my eye focusing muscles.
