Hi I have a complicated history. I am 33. a number of years ago developed foggy eye sight, especially noticeable at night,In the day i don't notice it so much.
After seeing about 5 eye doctors,all of them ophthalmologists, no one could tell me what was wrong. I have congenital strabismus so I had two surgeries, some were blaming that, but the pediatric eye specialist said not, he did not know.
I ended up seeing a neurologist because doctors thought it looked like MS, because of my many symptoms that included nerve symptoms frequent migraines and more.
I was finally diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma last year when I collapsed at work.
I have had chemo and a stem cell transplant and am in remission.
It was not until I saw my Myeloma Specialist at the cancer hospital here in Toronto Ontario, that she was able to tell me the eye problems were from something called Hyperviscocity Syndrome, a rare symptom of my cancer by my extremely elevated protein levels in my blood, which caused nerve damage in my eye. She did not know if it would get better.
I still have the night vision problems, have been told I will most likely develop cataracts.
I am so tired of wearing glasses. I wanted to have laser correction for my original issues of far sighted and astigmatism, but don't htink I'm a candidate now.
Have you ever treated the Hyperviscocity eye problems?
I understand I have a rare cancer, and even rarer symptoms so no one has been able to help me. I like my ophthalmologist but feel she is over her head, she also examined my eyes a number of times and could not find anything wrong before my diagnosis, even after my diagnosis told me flat out my cancer was not causing my eye problems, and prescribed me bifocals (which I did not get as I'm not ready for that at 33)
