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. So far, I am not having double vision or droopy eyes. However, I am experiencing blurry vision. When we finally got me on enough IVIG, I require 100 grams IVIG on two consecutive days every other week. My symptoms have improved.

  2. Using an eye patch over one eye really does help.

  3. I have periodic episodes of double vision/ droopy eyelid usually when I'm ill or about to be ill with a cold/flu. Years ago my partner took an old pair of glasses, took the lens out out of the non weak one and covered over the other. Super frustrating only seeing out of one eye but it works.

  4. A cold washcloth
