Eye symptoms-Question - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

I have read many posts referring to eye symptoms.....usually to the the pain, bluring etc. found with ON. Are there other eye symptoms? Like muscle spasms where your eyes feel like they are looking in two different directions at the same time....so your vision is screwed up but not really double vision?

YES,

Theres forms of nystagmus one in particular called INO/BINO.usually detected through a ENG/VNG done by an ENT.And is commonly found in MS patients but not widely discussed here as ON is ussually the norm with MS

Definately contact an optamologist.My 18 year old daughter suffers from eye spasms when she has to focus on any one item.That was found by a neuro-opthamologist when she was applying for the navy academy.We knew she had poor vision and thats the cause.

Hi there lynxgal
I havent been diagnosed with MS but I am suspicious of it. I get muscle spasms in my face all the time. When i smile the right side of my face twitches, when i close my eyes my eyelids flicker, and when squinting/straining, my eyes twitch too. again i dont get doulble vision but my vision seams jumpy.(hard to describe really). It also seams to me that when I get this strange feeling, like I can feel my pulse, my eyes seem to jump with it, vision disturbance yes, like my actual eyeballs are pulsating sounds gross feels gross but they actually arnt moving. I had my poor husband looking into my eyes for a half hour lol, he thinks im cracking up...
Hope this helps with your question thats my experience anyway...
Take care of yourself

At times I have had what feels like my left eye pulling toward my nose. When I ask people if they can see it, they say that my eye looks normal. Of course when this happens, I can't focus on anything using both eyes. If I cover one or the other then I can see more clearly. Anyone else ever have this?

Hugs,

Lynn

Janito, thats a pretty good description , to what i go through with my eyes. Not always ,but at least once or twice a week. The only way i get comfort is to put my cold fingertips over them for a while, at least they're always cold cause i have always numbness in the tips. Yes i have MS.
