Yes, eye fatigue is very common with MG! Eye muscles are particularly susceptible to MG-related weakness because they:
- Contract more rapidly than other muscles
- Work constantly while you're awake
- Have structural differences making them more vulnerable

This often leads to drooping eyelids (ptosis) that can worsen with fatigue, especially later in the day. Many MGteam members report similar experiences with eye fatigue. Some notice their vision fluctuates throughout the day, while others find they need to rest their eyes frequently. The good news is that resting your eyes can temporarily improve symptoms.

If eye fatigue is significantly impacting your daily activities like reading or watching TV, it's worth discussing with your doctor as there may be treatment options available.
