Epilepsy :: Vision Blurry
Jun 27, 2016
I was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago. I have for the past 3 year had strange eye sight. When i spoke with my neurologist she had never heard of it before. The only way that i can describe it is the vision you get after about 2-3 pints. I have been to the opticians and my eyes are perfectly fine. It is worse when i am outside and can make me feel dizzy and light weighted. Any advise would be appreciated. It makes me not want to go out.

I am on day 3 of detox off of Vicodin. Yesterday my vision was fine, today I can't see anything. I can barely read the computer screen. Very blurry! It is really freaking me out. I do not have vision problems normally, I do not even wear glasses.

Hi everyone, just after some advice.. My left eye started watering really bad last Wednesday, by the Friday the white of my eye was blood red, I arranged a visit to the GP who gave me chloramphenicol eye drops and if it got any worse to take myself to our local eye hospital. By the Sunday my eye was so painful, watering, bright red and light sensitive. I ended up visiting the eye hospital to be advised that I had an ulcer on my cornea. This us down to a viral infection, I was given antiviral eye ointment to put in 5 times a day for 10 days. The doc said due to my job I would probably need 2-3 days off.
I have been off 3 days now and although the pain and redness has calmed down, my eye is very sensitive to light and my sight is still blurry.
has anyone else suffered this please and how long did it take to recover and the eye to feel normal?

I got a corneal ulcer around 1 month ago due to contact lenses. The bacteria was pseudomonas, they told me its very dangerous because it releases enzymes that melt the cornea. It all started one night when I felt like something was in my eye and it hurt like crazy. I didn't get any sleep and in the morning I went to the hospital. They started me on vigamox every 30mins. I saw them the next day and said it antibiotic wasn't effective, so I was on tobramycin and another one(forgot the name) for the first week I went to the hospital everyday. After that every 2days. They said there was a 5%melt of my cornea and I might have permanent blurred vision. It's been a month now, the ulcer is gone but as expended it left a scar. My vision is blurry but the doctor said considering the size and place of the scar(middle of my line of vision) my vision is pretty good. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm not on steroids, should I be? I'm just on artificial tears now. Will my vision get better? My next appointment is next week so I will ask them what my options are with my vision.

I have damage to my heart from chemotherapy I had as a child and it is progressing and I have now been put on Lisinopril to try to help keep it from worsening any further or as quickly. I do not have high BP (my BP tends to run normal to a little low if anything). I started on Lisinopril Wed. night and Saturday morning I went grocery shopping & while pushing the cart and walking I got extremely light headed, a little dizzy, & my vision went a little blurry, I thought I was going to pass out. I ended up having to stop and sit down for a few minutes. I was able to complete my shopping but had to stop several times throughout due to the sudden light headed feeling coming back. I have never had this happen before and I don't know if my body just needs to adjust to the Lisinopril or if it is lowering my BP too much and causing these issues. Do I just need to let my body adjust or do I need to call doc & get back off of it.

I came across this syndrome when searching the Internet about extreme pain I have when I take the first bite EVERY time I eat and sometimes drink. That this could be a symptom of this syndrome but I don't know. I do have some of the other symptoms, i.e. neuropathy, blurry vision, muscle pain, fatigue but these can also be associated with Type 1 Diabetes which I have. Also, came across parotid/salivary glands are affected which also can cause the jaw to ear pain I'm having. Has anyone heard that the Coxsackie virus can have anything to do with it? How do you know for sure if it is Sjogren's and what type of doctor do you see about it - a primary?

I'm not particularly worried about this but I'd rather know what it is. I quite commonly will get, after stretching or getting up suddenly, flying black dots in my peripheral vision. These tiny black dots just appear, fly in a direction, then disappear. A bit like a swarm of flies in the corner of my eye except they keep appearing and disappearing individually. It might last up to five seconds or so. Then it's gone and I feel fine. I'm pretty sure I've had this for years.

I visited eye dr for checking my eyes since I felt irritate and itch on eyelids. Dr. told the only problem is eyelid inflamed. He gave me TelFast pills, Opticorn eyedrop and Alcon Maxitrol eye drops for 2 weeks. But, I feel my eyes are weaker and blur than usual. I visited him last few days for follow up, but he only tell my eye is back to normal. So, I'll be ok by next week. But, I wonder can my eyes back to normal after treatment. I wonder what make blur and weaker eye?

For nearly a year now I have been having these symptoms, which are really starting to affect my life and college work.
Start off first with zoning out of conversations and just not being quite with it.
Then comes loss of consciousness and eyelid fluttering.
Then confusion, wandering round, verbal aggression (not screaming or anything, but apparently I can be quite rude)
Then I come round, just feeling tired.
Altogether (apart from tiredness) this can last anything up to an hour. I don't remember anything of these, and all the information has come from witnesses. I have had an EEG and MRI, which were clear. So why am I still having these?

About 10 years ago I had something that resembled a stroke. I felt really strange that day and thought I needed to dilate my veins, i reasoned a run might help. After running about half a mile half the side of my body tensed or stiffened up; my head locked to one side, my arm curled in, my fingers curled in, the same side's leg stiffened and it was hard to walk. This lasted for something like 4 hours, and since then I've had trouble concentrating on things and the left side of my head/brain feels like numb/inflamed. I went to the ER and they gave me an MRI and said I had a brain cyst.
I always thought it was a stroke and I got some degree of damage, but a recent MRI doesn't show evidence of a stroke (but the pineal cyst is still there). So if it wasn't a stroke then what was it? Does this sound like an asymmetric tonic seizure?
I've had some other incidents that I thought were panic attacks where my vision goes dark, my hearing goes away and have to fight to not black out. Is my pineal cyst causing me seizures? I don't shake though.

My son has been having episodes at school, he explains then as he stares, and he can't hear anything, but he can remember what's happened and he can see and move his hands, he doesn't think he could stand or anything though. He is 10 years old and has recently moved schools, He has only noticed these episodes at his new school for the last few months and he had not experienced one at home until the other day when he said he opened the cupboard and just stared at the cups for a while. He also says he doesn't know when it starts or when it is happening but knows when it has finished that it has happened. He is going in for an EEG in a few days, I am a stressed mother who doesn't like waiting :/ Does this sound similar to any seizures anyone else has had?

I am a 27 year old male and about 3 months ago I started having seizures. The first 2 were about 2 months apart and both times! paramedics were called and I was taken to the er. Both these times my heart rate was high around 140 and my oxygen was low. After blood and urine tests I was told my potassium was low and I was given fluids and potassium pills and ativan. After the first seizure I got a ct scan at the er and an eeg and an mri a couple weeks later. My neurologist cannot figure out what could be causing them. After the second seizure I was given keppra in an iv at the er and the put on it daily. After a little more than a week on keppra I broke out in a rash. My doc then put me on trileptal, 300mg twice a day slowly stepping up to 600 mg twice a day. Before I got to the full dosage of the trileptal, two days ago I had another seizure. This time it did not last as long and I did not go to the er. My heart was racing for about 30 minutes after and then I was fine. I go back to the neurologist next week and I would like to try more testing instead of simply throwing medicine at the problem. Any ideas what could be the cause of all this?
I will add that I see a psychiatrist and I am on 20mg of prozac and 30mg of remeron for depression and anxiety. Also, my potassium has been checked in between and even before the seizures and it was always normal. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I seem to have this seizure type thing only when I am on transport and sun is flashing through the trees.
my senses all disappear, I blackout for about 30-40 seconds then jolt back into reality, I sometimes involuntarily scream when I jolt back because its scary.
I have been tested for epilepsy and have come back clear, is it possible to have only sunlight induced epilepsy.

Am I the only one? After having a seizure I can't talk right.
It is as if I have lost the ability to talk, and if I am able to talk, It is very slurred. Finding the right words are hard for me to find For at least an hour after having a seizure. Does anyone else face this problem?
