Hello Ladies, I have a few question I have severe endometriosis my question is when I have so much pain why is affect with my eyes sight? sometimes blur vision and I always rub because itching, sometimes I have teary eyes, when I am not in pain my eyes is a normal, I'am scared maybe it will affect with my eyes forever? I am still bloated gassy still don't feel good even I have surgery last 5 July, my next surgery on 3rd Oct. to remove all endometriosis and cysts.

Does it correlate with your cycle?

There is such thing as endometiosis in other body parts like the lungs, eyes etc but that is extremely extremely rare. I have only met one person who had lung Endo and no one with eye Endo and I speak to thousands of endosisters.

Are you on any medication? Some medications cause side effects like this and it could be from that.

Let me ask around and see what i can find out from some people.

My advice to you would be to find and Endo specialist. Not sure if you are just seeing a regular gyno or obgyn but you need to make sure the person doing your surgery has the skill of excision surgery along with knowledge and experience to notice the different types and colors of Endo. Many surgeons miss some Endo because they don't have the knowledge. It is very important when it comes to this disease that you find someone like this.

I will get back to you tonight

Here are some responses

"vision changes can occur from high pain levels among other reasons that might not be related to endo at all such as dehydration, fatigue, allergies, nerve irritation, or medication side effects.
i have only been able to find 1 case report of a 'presumed diagnosis of nasolacrimal endo' and it is only an abstract. my understanding is that it is  rare. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18209641]
I'm having trouble looking up more information but will continue to try to find signs and symptoms"

"Vision changes is a symptom of crohns as well"

I will check back in if there are more responses

Hi Ticked thank you for your reply, yes I have GnRh injection on Sept.25 my 4th and last injection before my laparoscopy on 3rd Oct. yes I'am endometriosis specialist UCLH here in London, I'am thinking maybe because of the side effect of GnRh injection but they don't mention it..

Thank you.

It most likely is that and or pain. From what I have heard from experts in this matter is that you shouldn't worry that it's endo because even the one case that was found was not deemed 100% accurate. I hope that puts your mind at ease a bit

No problem :) mainly everyone is saying it's most likely from pain and possibly meds
