As the title
Does failing eyesight make you feel like you are getting visual distortion even sometimes feeling like what you see (I just mean visually) is like when very drunk or have taken something ?
I’ve always had better than 20:20 vision which at my age will now start deteriorating
Anyone know what I’m talking about or am I just getting unwell? There have been many other breakthroughs xxxxxx thanks
I’m not sure I understand what you’re talking about? For me my “visual distortions” are when I see something and I know it’s one thing but my brain insists that I’m seeing something else, like when I know logically I am looking at robes but I physically see hanging bodies.
I’m not sure what sort of distortion you’re referring to.
Check the side effects of your meds. For example I had visual distortion on metformin for a while. And it’s a listed side effect.
Fuzzy trippy
Brighter and less well defined
Slightly sparkly
Like too much dope
Nope I haven’t had anything like that
I don’t really get that
I thought distortions were a commonly named thing but I’ll look up the definition
Sure it’s different for different folks
There’s a simple way to see if its meds and Sz…vs failing eyesight… Go get your eyes checked… I had 15/20 vision it has sunk to 2020 this year…
I have blurry vision at times and do need glasses. I think my appointment is in march but I’d talk to my doctor about any side effects that deteriorate vision and maybe change those meds with your doctors help.
I wish I had been told about the 18:20 or 17:20 whatever it was
I think I could always read the bottom line almost correctly unsure or on one or two of the them were less obvious
Yeah goid idea
Just been reading visual distortion article though
I think it is that
Only difference between my vision and stress levels were as fucjee as as anything
And losing it completely is the delusion that I got this way through someone spiking my food
I’ve been on these 11 years and no full relapse of symptoms
I’m quite happy with this med but have been
Just wondering if I might need polypharm
With a second anti psychotic - just if they want to do care in the community
Yeah xx
Sure though
I keep getting them to increase it because of all the other symptoms
I’ve been told to rethink my life (back to about 3h ‘work’ per week And eat better and exercise)
I don’t think anyone would want to spike your food-that’s just way messed up-but I’ve heard stories about it. I can see how that would affect you a whole bunch.
