Managing double vision and ptosis can be challenging. Some MGteam members have found success with various treatments. For immediate relief of double vision, using an eye patch or covering one lens of your glasses can help you see single images. If ptosis is affecting one eye, this may naturally help reduce double vision as well.

Some treatment options that have helped other MGteam members include:
• Rituximab (Rituxan) and Gamunex-C for vision clarity
• Prism lenses in glasses to address double vision
• Mestinon to help with eyelid control While ocular MG doesn't damage eyesight directly, symptoms like ptosis and double vision can lead to functional vision problems. When muscles that control eye movement become weak or fatigued, it causes misalignment leading to double vision. Rest periods may help improve these symptoms temporarily.

It's worth noting that thyroid issues, particularly Graves' disease, commonly occur alongside myasthenia gravis. The combination of symptoms can be particularly challenging to manage, but working closely with your healthcare team to find the right treatment approach is essential.
