ON in a single eye is typical of MS - when it is in both eyes its more typical of Devics disease. So yes in on eye is typical of MS. As far as symptos getting worse in evening, I was told by my diagnosing neuro my symptoms would be worse in the evening-probably when the nerve gets tired after the days activities. I also have a theory that it has something to do with the 24 hour cyrcadian(?) cycle the immune system is on---biorythms. MS is caused by the immune system and the immune system is more active in the evening.

Since my last episode of ON in my right eye, I notice my right eye is rathe more sensitive to sunlight. I think I have a reason to wear sunglasses, but I still forget & only remember them when my eye starts aching. I'll get it right by winter IO suppose, thren I will always grab by sunglasses as I go out the door :( Timing is everything!

Thanks for your reply. Nothing given has helped so far. When I put my contact in I can see well for about a couple of hours then back to blurred vision. IN evening its like my eye has dirty film on it. Really at a loss as to what to do exactly except wait and see if it is MS or Allergy. Gets on nerves.

Gets on nerves.

Yep MS does. It took me a month to figure out MS was happening during my last episode of ON and even in hindsight, I really don't know how I could have shortened that time?

don't know what else to say, except I hope you find out which it is soon and it resolves soon also.

An eye issue is what led me to the doctor in the first place. I have up and down double vision. Not all the time, but I do have multiple bouts of it every day. I thought it was a sinus infection at first but after 6 weeks, I finally said "enough" and I went back to my doctor who ordered a MRI. Well, after all the tests, it is MS and she said that the reason I am having the double vision is that the current attack I'm having is on a nerve that deals with my eye muscles.

If I've learned nothing else in the past two weeks since starting the research on this condition, it's that no two of us are exactly alike. That item alone gets on my nerves.

Some of your symptoms sound like Dry Eye, "running eyes, sensitivity to light, and vision is ok in the a.m. but gets worse at the day goes on." I have the same symptoms. I no longer wear contacts b/c of Dry Eye.

My opthamologist told me I have Dry Eye. He put plugs in my eyes, which helps but they fall out over time. He also recommended a warm compress 5-10 minutes three times a day in addition to eyedrops and TheraTears nutrition, http://www.theratears.com/nutrition.aspx. I also use an eye gel for night time, http://www.bausch.com/en_US/consumer/visioncare/product/drops/moistureointment.aspx.

The warm compress seems to help the most. I use a hand towel, rolled, wet in the middle, and warm it in the microwave for 50 seconds.

Good luck!

FYI, optic neuritis is possible in both eyes. I developed ON in my optic chasm which caused me to essentially go blind in both eyes. As it got better, the vision in my left eye returned to normal, but the vision in my right eye is still slightly blurred in the center.

Whatever this ends up being, it might warrant a visit to the ophthalmologist to get it checked out.

I also feel that dirty film feeling in my eyes. I call it snots in the eyes. It is really annoying and I do not chalk it up to allergies. I've had seasonal allergies for a long time and never had that before. But since the MS kicked in I have had problems like this with my eyes.

I had the same thing happen 2 years ago on Christmas day. Woke up with a blurry right eye. Went to the dr. in January, and an opthamologist. They couldn't find anything wrong. It resolved itself before anyone thought of an MRI. When it came back this year, it had facial tingles too, so MRI and dianosis. It really stinks to see funky.

Just in one eye at the moment. It's a strange thing, like it's darker than looking through the other eye. I had this about 20 years ago but with no other symptoms MS wasn't mentioned

a few yrs ago i too went blind 100% for a whole month. fyi i thought my vision would be blk. it was all wht. went blind cause of "cat scratch disease"?? its real look it up. damn cat .

OMG, another symptom. You are all talking about something that has been happening to me for years, again on and off during the day, then goes away for a while. It's just another thing in a long line of symptoms. Maybe I should try to find a master list and start checking things off.

had nystagmus for two yrs now makes me dizzy nasau hard to shop and look up and down lozipham helps but two yrs is too long

About 6 months before getting diagnosed I travelled to Europe with my 3 year old son. The trip was very stressfull and my left eye started twitching. After a few weeks so did my right eye and then they both turned blurry. Sometimes I would feel uncomfortable driving my car, but felt a bit better when wearing my glasses. When we started my diagnosis for MS I remember reading that blurred vision is a symptom. The twitching has stopped and my eyes are nearly back to normal now.

I hope you feel better.
