Vision Problems

[Guest guest]

I have learned from this group that vision problems are not unusual

with LBD. I offer the following information for what it is worth. A

few years ago my husband began complaining about seeing double. He'd

ask, how many ladies do you see walking on the path. I have some

double vision (strabisimus) because my nearsightedness is much worse

in one eye than the other.

I took him to a specialist who verified the double vision, and

suggested that the muscular rigidity due ro his Parkinsonism was the

cause. He prescribed prisms for his distance and reading glasses, and

that has helped him immensely.

Now, typical LBD vision problems could be completely different than

this and if so this information is worthless, some LBD with

Parkinsonism could be like my husband's and correctable. This is just FYI.
