Unhappy What causes vision problems?

I just received my orthotic yesterday. I have trouble with my right joint not working properly. One of my symptoms is pressure behind my right eye and blurred vision in my right eye. I've been to a ton of eye dr.'s and they tell me nothing is wrong. Sometimes it scares me and I think it could be something else. I see a rolfer and she tells me my sphenoid could be causing it.

What causes this blurred vision? Will it get better? Your input would be appreciated!

Katt

Re: What causes vision problems?

Hi Katt,

A number of studies have shown slight changes in the iris of the eye when sufficient facial muscle spasm is present. In addition, due to what is called "autonomic response", the eyes may also weep when the surrounding muscle structure is irritated.

Re: What causes vision problems?

Hi Katt,
I have that symptom as well. In fact I had myself convinced I had a brain tumor because of the blury vision in my right eye and the pain I would get behind my eye. The way my dentist explained it to me is that when your bite is off center, your body's whole "center" is off. If your muscles are out of align and your bite is out of align than your eustacian <sp> tubes in your ears are off center and your ears feel clogged and your vision gets off center if your bite is off, he told me there are so many symptoms of tmj and most dr;s and dentists do not recognize that so much is affected if our bite is off........hope you are getting some good treatment and with the right splint your vision should correct. I had noticable improvement in my eye pain and blurry vision right away. I still have episodes but they are getting less frequent.

Re: What causes vision problems?

Thank you, Karen, your comments have been helpful. This has been scary for me, as my symptoms are not very pain-related as some on this board. I do know that my jaw opens crooked, so hopefully time (and patience) will tell.
