My 83 yr old mother whom has been on meth for chronic pain, has started to have eye problems. She has always suffered from dry eyes and light intolerance. She started seeing double but only up close. Now her eye lids are closing. They took her off meth and replaced it with Gabapentin 300 and still has her Fentanyl patch. She was an avid reader but can t read any longer. This has been occurring for a couple of months now. Any advice???
Hello, One really hopes this is METHADONE and not METHAMPHETAMINE for pain. Eye problems need a specialist to have a look at the eyes.  CATARACTS cause a particular way of seeing double (you see double with ONE EYE CLOSED... he, sometimes triple.  Often the double images are on top of each other not side by side) and this is entirely treatable. But there's lots of other causes glaucoma, retinal problems, myasthenia graves, stroke, etc. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
