10 Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #2: Double Vision
Diplopia or double vision is another common symptom of this condition. A majority of patients diagnosed with myasthenia gravis will develop eyesight problems at some point in their life. Double vision, for example, will result because of muscle weakness affecting the extraocular muscles. Diplopia may be horizontal or vertical, and usually improves when one eye is closed. It can also cause blurred vision and a halo around objects.
Double vision because of extraocular muscle weakness tends to worsen while watching TV, reading a book or newspaper, driving, etc. If a person can’t see clearly, his/her life quality will be affected.
