I am curious how many have the symptom.
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of, and finding treatments for, complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

It used to be a problem for me. I waited very long times at intersections because I wasn't sure just how much space I had to pull out in traffic. If I remember right, all spaces looked pretty compressed, so I needed a really obvious gap to be sure it was safe.
Yes I had too for quite awhile in earlier times - visual disturbances of various kinds including inabilities with depth perception and inability to readjust quick focussing depth (eg. from TV at a distance to something nearby) and slow readjustment to changing light levels. I'd always assumed it was a "muscular problem" being part of a general pattern of muscle and movement problems at the time.
yep, never really connected to ME tho, also have an issue with rapidly moving objects, both in reality and on tv.
managed to puncture my eye on the tip of an agave leaf spine! My eyeball was leaking vitreous fluid and the surgeons at the hospital had to put a stitch in it.
It is so amazing there are finally, with the ICC and more, a lot more diagnostic cues to help docs. Of course it will not be common knowledge in the medical community for a generation or two.
Eye problems with ME/CFS patients are quite definable and readily identifiable by optometrists. Most of the optometrists I have been to admit to seeing problems in ME/CFS patients. In fact I have received more acknowledgement of ME/CFS from optometrists than doctors.
This article is an interesting read: http://www.cfids.org/archives/2001rr/2001-rr3-article02.asp
feel like i am going to fall over when this happens e.g if a car starts moving next to me and i hadnt expected it, does anyone know what this is?
......i also have problems working out what things are at a distance - i can see them but somehow my brain cant make sense of them.....
Justy.
