What Causes Blurred Vision In Right Eye When Diagnosed With Epilepsy And MS?

default
Posted on Fri, 4 Sep 2015
Question: Hi, I'm 26. Diagnosed with epilepsy and, most recently, MS, I'm on 3 medications; Keppra and lemotragine for my epilepsy, which I've been using for a few years and I just started the sub cutaneous injection copaxone a little over a week ago. This past Sunday, my vision blurred in my right eye and the retna in my left eye started to feel strained. The symptoms haven't gotten worse, nor has it gotten better since. Would this be a symptom of MS, epilepsy or any of the medications? Should I be treating this as urgent care and seek attention at an ER or should I speak with my family doctor?

Another demyelinating episode(MS Relapse) to be ruled out.This is unlikely due to medicines or epilepsy.
You should visit a neurologist for urgent evaluation and MRI.
