What Causes Dizziness And Blurred Vision?

Posted on Sat, 7 Oct 2017

Question: Heavy eyes, tiring eyes. A little dizzy and blurred vision sometimes. Visited an eye doctor and oculoplastics specialist. The recommendation is to a eyelid lift surgery. I just want to have another consultation. Could other conditions also contribute to these symptoms?

Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
If your eyes are tired and droop as the day progresses , one diagnosis to be considered is Myasthenia Gravis.

Thank you, Dr. Noble XXXXXXX

Yes, more tired with the progress of day. But that tiring and heavy feeling in the eyes are there in the morning.

Will the eyelid lifting surgery a good treatment for Myasthenia Gravis? Should I do any other diagnosis?

Thanks,
XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Eye surgery is not the solution. If you can see an Internist, you may be diagnosed by a clinical examination and edrophonium test. If not , you can do a blood test Acetylcholine antibodies and if it is diagnosed as Myasthenia Gravis, medical treatment may be sufficient or you may require Thymus surgery.
Take care
