How would people describe visual field loss?
I really struggle to explain it! I lost a fair chunk of my right visual field a decade ago and recovered with IV steroids, as well as other symptoms but over the last year or so my vision just doesn’t seem the same. Particularly with lights, I can’t explain it. My eyesight is fine, but my right vision almost seems bright and I feel like I just can’t see the same anymore!?
Hi Gemma Kennedy! Unfortunately, various vision issues can occur with MS, including optic neuritis, phosphenes, vertigo, nystagmus, blurriness, and more!
In addition to any community input you may receive, I wanted to share some information from our site. Here is a thread where our members discuss their various eye problems -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/topic/vision-problems/. And here is some basic information on the more common vision issues potentially related to MS -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/symptoms/vision-problems/.
Best of luck and thanks for sharing!

I can so relate to this it's something I'm going thru now and I don't see well It's how I got diagnosed actually it had started with a real sensitivity to light then to blurriness to colorblindness and just different with different lighting that yes difficult to explain fortunately my nuerologist sent me to a neuro optamalogist and started treatment for uveitis got my color vision back but still can't see well and going to try eye injections here soon but the other eye doctors didn't see the swelling in the back of my eyes or that I had edema so bad in my right eye there was fluid in it or now my pupils are both no longer round because they're scarred 
Hi
. I am glad you at least recovered partially. I hope the injections help and that you fully recover eventually. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
