Parkinson’s disease causes uncontrolled movements, a slowness in the movements and muscular stiffness. These motor disorders are the main symptoms of this neural system pathology. Persons suffering from Parkinson can also be affected with vision disturbances of many forms. Neural degenerescence will influence the eye movement as well as ocular muscles’ stiffness. The treatment can also have side effects on the eyes.
However, many other ocular pathologies are not connected to Parkinson. They may have been present since the disease has been diagnosed or appear after. And medical care must be ensured at any rate. With aging or because of another pathology (such as diabetes), the patient can be affected with a field of vision loss.
