Can myasthenia gravis affect the eyes, and is it linked to conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or dry eye?

Yes, myasthenia gravis often begins with eye-related symptoms such as drooping eyelids (ptosis) and double vision. Because it affects muscle control, it can lead to dry eyes due to reduced blinking. Over time, treatments like long-term steroid use may also increase the risk of glaucoma and cataracts.

If you’re managing myasthenia gravis and notice any changes in your vision, regular eye checkups can make a significant difference. Many people have found relief through proper care—your eyes deserve the same.
