Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision And Neck And Shoulder Pain
My husband has an appointment with neurologist next week. His symptoms are blurry vision in his right eye, pain in neck and shoulders. The eye has flashes of light and spots. He is a diabetic but the ophthalmologist says it s not caused by his sugar being too high.

HI
Well come to HCM
If your husband being examined by just ophthalmologist and did not go through retina examination then he need have this and in my opinion retinologist could do this, in my opinion this is important prior to see the neurologist because chances of diabetic retinopathy would be very likely, and this need to be ruled out first, neurological pathology would be very less likely, hope this information helps, take care.
