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.?

I experienced double vision one night while driving. The line on the right side of the road was sudden 2 lines! Not just one blurry line, but 2 distinct lines. The next morning I called my neurologist who told me to see my eye doctor. He got me in that day. After the exam, he ordered new glasses with prisms. Since I wear glasses all the time, it was a simple solution. My eye doctor said they might get worse in the future, but he would simply prescribe new glasses with more prisms. I remember my mother had loads of prisms inherent glasses and it makes me wonder if she had ocular MG that was not diagnosed.
Yes if the first episode is treated fast, I was given prednisone and then it slowly improved until almost normal. But wait, it will return!
Keep taking Prednisone as prevention.
Eye patch for double vision. It helps some, if you can get use to wearing it.
I have ocular myasthenia gravis which causes diplopia ptosis and I experienced double vision. For sometime I have been doing constant research trying to understand what can cure or treat this ailment outside of traditional drugs, Kritikos steroids and like. As of eight minutes ago, I recently came across an advertisement regarding the product called up Nick, which is good for people with ptosis, but it says that it doesn’t work or it’s not designed specifically for people with underlying causes of cuing myasthenia gravis. The correct spelling of the word is.Upneeq. As well, I have an appointment coming up in December for what is called a Perry Bobert injection, which goes directly to the eye muscle, which is specifically affected by ocular myasthenia gravis via needle under anesthesia. Or local pain diminishment. I may even end up getting my thyroid removed, but that’s to wait and see. We’re hoping to get the results that we’re looking for after this peri bulbar injection. I’ve become a member of this page and hope to gain information to share with my newly found friends in the adventure of general and ocular myasthenia gravis. I pray for you all do well and be blessed. Have a wonderful day.
