Driving

Fortunately medication has eliminated my double vision but not my bulbar MG. When I was having occurance's of double vision I always carried an extra pair of eye glasses that had the lens of my weaker eye filtered out. I would pull over and change eyeglasses to take care of the double vision.

My feet caused me to give up driving. I can't feel them . I discovered this after backing into a tree and not being able to find the brake pedal. I already had bad vision before mg but Lasik surgery improved both

Vertical diplopia while driving was the first symptom. It was transient. With time it appeared sooner and longer, particularly if sleep deprived. A few years ago a new optometrist prescribed prisms when diplopia became a primary complaint.. The new glasses almost totally eliminated diplopia except for when I am exhausted or reading late at night.

I usually don't drive in the afternoons or more than 15-20 minute rides due to blurry or double vision. Won't give up my license unless I have to but I am careful and won't drive if to fatigued. Things can just wait!
