Obviously there is relief on my end, mostly due to the doctor who mentioned MS straightaway knowing that there could be/are many reasons for my eye issue described.
The ophthalmologist was checking/testing primarily for optic neuritis and said it is not. He said I aced all the tests and have 20/20 in both eyes.
Recommended treatment is warm water to clean the eyelids and create moisture in the area with finger compresses in the area.
Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) would not be something associated with MS, so if anyone here has personal experience with it, it will be outside of any neurological condition they may have.
Typically our issues are optic neuritis, which can cause pain and/or vision loss or internuclear ophthalmoplegia, which can cause double vision and nystagmus. These have to do with inflammation in the optic nerve itself (which is actually also part of the central nervous system) or the brain stem.
Did the ophthalmologist recommend any treatment for you?
Posting in case anyone else runs into similar events,
The oIphthalmologist diagnosed me with Blepharitis
Thanks for the input, the vision issue seemed to be almost back to normal the next day and there was no pain in the movement of the eye.
Today there has been some slight mild discomfort however.
Hopefully I can get into the ophthalmologist tomorrow.
Hi fellow Ozzie and welcome,
It's highly possible your visual experience is related to your TMJ and sleep behaviour at the time, visual issues are associated with TMJ and from your description, TMJ would definitely seem a likely explanation imho.
An ophthalmologist will be assessing the health of your eyes, but if your eyes are normal, it would be unlikely that this has anything to do with a neurological condition like MS......until you know more, it's in your best interest to not worry about MS when MS is only 1 of the potential explanations....
Cheers........JJ
