Yes, multiple sclerosis (MS) can affect eye health. One common issue is optic neuritis, which can cause:

- Vision loss
- Double vision
- Blurred vision
- Eye pain

Most people with optic neuritis and MS tend to recover their vision within a few weeks or months, though some may take up to a year. Treatments like steroids can help reduce inflammation and prevent optic nerve damage. Using aids like eye patches, canes, and magnifiers can also help manage symptoms.

If I read or look at my phone and read or just look at pics, my eyesight goes blurry and I get these horrible headaches. It lasts for hrs. Eye drops do not help

I would say yes your eyes can be affected mostly if there is active lesions in your brain affecting the eye nerves. I’ve had my eyesight go out in my right eye 3-4times since 2018 have done steroid infusions twice for it and will be starting a new batch next week. Don’t love doing the steroid infusions but between my eyesight being affected and constant hugs I am praying for some relief.
What are you feeling is going on with your eyes?

I get my eyes checked every years and they're fine but I believe it can.
