Does Anything Help Your Double Vision And/or Droopy Eyes?

Do you have Myasthenia gravis symptoms of diplopia (double vision) or ptosis (drooping eye)?

Has anything helped you? Medication, surgery, tape, glasses, contacts, eye drops, etc.?

  1. I wear an eye patch for double vision. People stare but it allows me to function. When I have swelling and or drooping, I stay home and tough it out. I was hospitalized for 3 days when both eyes shut down simultaneously. No fix for that yet.

    1. it can be challenging when both eyes are affected. I used a sleeping mask to rest both eyes when both of my eyes were affected, but this ultimately went to not being able to see for a couple of days different things work for different people at this did help me as did prism glasses❄️ team member, Deborah ❄️

  2. I have prisms in my glasses to help with the double vision.

    1. I have the same problem my right eye is closed or else double vision

      1. I understand how frustrating that must be for you. Are you still receiving IVIG infusions? If so, how have those been going?
