How Parkinson's Affects Vision

Understanding Eye Problems in Parkinson's Disease

Living with Parkinson's disease can affect many aspects of daily life, including your vision and eye comfort. Tremors, reduced mobility, and balance difficulties can also make travelling to a high street optician challenging.

At Almond Eyecare, we provide professional home eye tests for people living with Parkinson's disease, delivering comprehensive eye care in the comfort and safety of your own home. Our experienced domiciliary optician offers longer, personalised appointments, ensuring every patient receives the time, care, and attention they deserve.

Regular home eye examinations can help identify treatable eye conditions and ensure your vision is properly corrected, supporting daily living and independence.

How Parkinson's Can Affect Your Eyes

  • Dry, irritated or watery eyes from reduced blinking
  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Double vision (diplopia)
  • Difficulty focusing when reading
  • Reduced contrast sensitivity
  • Increased sensitivity to bright light
  • Difficulty seeing steps or kerbs clearly
