You mean eyesight? No. I still see fine without glasses.

Yes, it may be the derealization or my brain is not ‘processing’ very well what my eyes see.

I developed a lot more floaters but other than that no change.

zeno, you have Schizotypal, correct?

6

Yes but my pdoc is not sure.

My upclose vision has gone to hell in the past few years, but I suspect it’s more from turning 50.
Never wore glasses before, now I know what a pain in the…neck it is to have to wear them.

Interesting how there seems to be alot of derealization involved in Schizotypal. I also have Derealization.

I wore glasses since I was 14. About the same time I developed mental illness. But I don’t think they are linked. I think I got short sighted bcuz I read a lot of books.

I have a papiledema, optic nerve swelling, so I could go blind one day, but it’s stable right now.

I don’t need glasses at all. I have extremely low myopia. It is even not noticeable.

I am lucky for that! :grin:

I’ve had glasses since I was 5. I know the difference between needing new glasses and a side effect caused by drugs. I’ve had blurry vision in parts since starting Abilify. My doctor says it’s cause the medicine does blahblahblah and that a lot of antipsychotic medicines have that as a side effect but she doesn’t believe me.

mine are rapidly getting worse but its age related I think

I don’t have perfect vision but I don’t think my eyes have gotten worse. If anything, I will blame the eclipse that happened a few weeks ago lol…i looked at it for 5-6 sec without the glasses. (bad idea)
