Vision changes from Allergy?

[ejh]

Hi. Has anyone experienced changes in vision due to allergies?

Lately my quality of vision will change throughout the day. I live in Auckland (New Zealand), which has bad hay fever. This is the first spring I have been here. Since I arrived back in Auckland in Sept, after a few months back in the US, I have had constant post nasal drip, which is clear and thick. I have also noticed eye symptoms, mostly that my vision will get worse at certain times. Its been hard to narrow down the times my sight is worse. I also get a foggy feeling in my head and my ears seem clogged at times.

I have been cleared from sinusitis, according to a CT. Also had an MRI, which was negative for everything. Eye doctor says my eyes are fine too.

I have more recently been dealing with bad facial/eye pain, which the ENT says is due to the Sternocleidomastoid muscle in my neck. I am having Physical Therapy for that, which seems to help with the facial pain.

Has anyone experienced changes in vision from allergies? COuld something inside my head or eye be swelling througout the day, putting pressure on my eyes and changing my vision.

I too have issues with so many medications.  I have also suffered from different vision issues that the doctors can't seem to find a cause.  I accidently discovered it was dairy products.  I would drink milk because I was diagnosed with thinning bones and I couldn't take any of the meds without getting migraines.  The milk would cause my thyroid to go into overgear and cause vision issues and several other problems.  I have read that the thyroid also reduces my estrogen which caused the bone issue in the first place.  Since eliminating milk the vision issues have subsided.  Now I wait to be tested on my estrogen levels and bone density.

For me, I have severe reactive problems as you all do.

Mine are triggered by mold exposure and exposure to environmental toxins.

I have severe multiple chemical sensitivity and mold illness......

I have similar problems.  Food intake (any GMO,natural color and flavor, antibiotcs, pain killer, cortisone...) is the main cause of vision lose, swallen body, headache, and soetimes even depression.

Starting fasting and cleansing tomorrow, will post back results.

I have been fighting similar symptoms for about 7 months now.  started with a sinus infection and i have has a post nasal drip ever since. My vision problems are so bad i have difficulty driving.  I also had and have some high anxiety. I think mostly because i dont feel well and i dont know why!  I am exhausted most of the time as well.  I had a brain MRI and a sinus CT scan.  Mri came back normal, Ct scan showed a little bit of swelling.  ENT said i definately dont have a sinus infection.  antibiotics didnt do anything.  Ive been to an opthoneurologist. She said there is nothing wrong with my eyes. I went to an allergist. I reacted to the mold and they told me there wasnt much they could do about it.   I was in an apartment that smelled strongly of mold.  I moved out to a much cleaner place about three months ago.  But i feel just as crummy.  I was never one to complain about anything healthwise.  I eat right and used to exercise.  Within the last two weeks my neck has been stiff and bothering me.  I have tried claratin and some nasal steroid spray to no avail.  Its starting to effect my life quite severly.  Every day is a struggle just to get to the end of the day.  if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.  I am at my wits end.
