UPDATE: Is there a relationship between alopecia areata and vitilgo?

Update:  Yes, there is a relationship.  I now have both vitiligo and alopecia areata.  The doctors have confirmed that there is a relationship as well as the alopecia areata registry.  In case anyone has the same question...now you know :)  Thanks!

Well actually I list my vision while driving on sept 30th.  I got hot, my heart raced and my vision got increasingly blurry until I couldn't see a thing.  Then severe abdominal pain.  No vision trouble aside from that though.  That's for the to.  I'll look into this.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome

Poliosis (whitening of hair) + Vitiligo (whitening of skin) + Alopecia Areata (losing hair in patches)

Any eye problems or visual disturbances?  Blurry vision, eye floaters, flashes in the eye, or sore eyelids?  How about acne?
