Yes I have problems like that. Even before I was diagnosed, my eyes would zip around uncontrollably. I used to call it zippy eyes, and sometimes I they will cross. I don't have control over the eye movements. I live in W. Hempstead and I go to a doctor at their MS Dept. on Front Street. NYU Langone. I have seen Dr. Uretsky. But please take someone with you. He was much better when I had my husband in the room with me. https://health.usnews.com/doctors/scott-uretsky... If you ever need someone to talk to, I live very close to you. https://health.usnews.com/doctors/scott-uretsky...

I have major eye issues which pre date MS but are probably exacerbated by it. I’m about to have a cataract op….more complicated than most. But I’ve talked MS eye problems with the clinic to ensure they’re up to date. Worth getting an optician to refer you to a clinic or surgeon to have a discussion.? I had a short double vision episode a few years ago which they documented eagerly

Thank you everyone. I thought I was losing my mind. I didn't even notice it my brother asked me why my eyes were crossed last week!

Surprisingly we can lose our horizontal and/or vertical hold keeping our eyes straightforward. I'm losing both so they tend to spiral in until they settle. It's weird. I think it was worse though when my eyelid twitched for a year.

I have them too. It’s rough for certain. God has blessed me with remission for now. I pray he does the same for you
