Hi everyone,
Does anyone have blurry vision with MAV? I can't decide if I need glasses or if this is just another side effect of this illness. The thing is, some days I can see better than others so i can't figure it out. And some days (like today) the blurry vision combined with the light sensitivity have given me brain fog (or maybe it was the other way around) and with the combination of the three I feel like someone bubble wrapped my head. I feel confused a lot of the time. I am in the middle of another episode right now but yesterday I was better so I thought I might be coming out of it. I guess not.
The scariest thing is the visual disturbance right at the moment. Anyone else feel this?

I have an appointment with a neuro opthamologist but they can't get me in until the 8th of July.

I wouldn't say it was blurred as such, but when I actively focus on something it doesnt stay entirely still - almost like a subtle shimmering.

This is quite normal with an inner ear problem.

I do have problems with my vision but it is not so much that things are blurry but when I try to focus on things they seem to move or jump.

I sometimes get blurry vision. It only lasts a little while. I can sit and read something on the computer, and then all of a sudden I can't see clearly, and I try to blink my eyes a few times and wait, and then I try to keep reading, but the blurry vision will come and go. This only happens some days, not all the time. I just guess it's from MAV...

I sometimes get blurred vision too, particularly when reading the computer screen. I'm due an eye test but it does seem to be worse some days than others, maybe it is an MAV thing...

I have the same problem. Perfect vision but i do have blurred vision on bad days. The cloudiness is the same here. The mind just isn't wasn't it use to be before this stuck. So you are not alone, I hope it helps.

Hi Nitty,
My vision is strange and foggy constantly. It's exacerbated by daylight and fluro lights.
I know what you mean by the bubble-wrap feeling, too. I hope you're feeling better.
