I’ve been having a problem with my eyes since January.  I have seen three
ophthalmologists, none of whom have a clue what is wrong with my eyes as all
their tests say everything is normal. Anyway, everyone here seems extremely
knowledgeable on the subject, and I welcome any suggestions.  Like I said
before, all this started at the end of January…I was on my Mom’s laptop,
which was running out of batteries and therefore, very, very dim.  After
about five minutes looking at it I got a headache and my eyes felt tired. I
assumed I had strained my eyes and went to lie down for awhile. When I woke
up  I was fine, but over the next two weeks these “episodes” increased in
severity and became more frequent until it was permanent – I know have these
symptoms every minute of the day.  I’ve seen three ophthalmologists, and I
asked my neurologist ( who happens to specialize in headaches) and she had no
idea what is wrong. She referred me to a neuro-opthalomogist but my
appointment is all the way at the end of June.  I saw my GP two days ago and
had my blood drawn and ordered an MRI (which I will get tomorrow) to make
sure the problem isn’t systemic.  Anyway, here is a list of my vision
problems.  the symptoms are difficult to describe but I am going to do my
best.

1.First, the second I put on my contacts or glasses, I get an immediate
headache.  This headache is very unusual in that it is caused by the
tightening of my forehead muscles – essentially I get a cramp in my forehead
which worsens the longer I keep my lenses on.  I can’t go without corrective
lenses though because I am extremely myopic...i have been told I am legally
blind.  My contact lens specialist did find a some contacts that minimize the
headaches, but they don’t fix the problem.  Interestingly, these contacts are
weaker than what my prescription should be.
2.I have an increased sensitivity to light. I can no longer go outside
without glasses on, even when it is cloudy.
3.I have trouble accommodating, and can’t stand it when something moves
towards me quickly, which makes driving a challenge.  
4.It takes me a while to focus on anything, especially objects that re far
away (again, driving is a challenge).
5.My eyes fatigue very quickly and I can’t read for more than a few minutes,
which is extremely frustrating as I love to read and am supposed to be
starting graduate school in the fall.  However, it is going to be very
difficult to study if I can’t read for more than five minutes a day. Also, I
can no longer read in anything but natural light and I can’t stand most
indoor lighting.
6.Often when i go to bed my eyes won’t relax. I have to force them to settle
down and have to force my forehead muscles to relax as well.
7.I am pretty sure the problem is my left eye.  Something about it feels
“wrong” ( I know that is not descriptive enough but it is the best I can do)
even at night when I am in bed.  My ophthalmologist has always had trouble
with that eye, never been able to get it to see perfect, and we never were
sure why that was.  

So those are the symptoms and they are getting worse.  Some history about me:
I’m a 23 year-old woman who has been wearing corrective lenses since the age
of 10.  I’ve never had a problem like this.  Also, I have Muscular Dystrophy
(actually, technically it’s a muscular myopathy – not sure what kind yet).
My neurologists wasn’t sure if the problem could be with the MD or not. I see
my other neurologist (the one who specializes in MD) next month, so he may
know something.) two of the ophthalmologists thought the problem must be with
my MD, and they may be right.  I have a mild form of the disease, - I have a
generalize muscle weakness and I fatigue easily.  Also, about four years ago
I was ina n accident and hit my head very hard. I developed a rare condition
in which the nerve endings in my head are perpetually “on alert” and any time
I lightly bump my head against something I get a concussion.  My head is so
sensitive that I can’t even wear my hair up – it pulls and hurts my head.
I’m not sure if that is relevant, but I know head trauma can cause some eye
problems (i.e papilledema?). However, it happened so long ago I’m not sure
that is the cause of the problem.  

So does anybody have any idea what is causing all of this? Do these symptoms
sound familiar?  Do I have some sort of disease or are my eyes just massively
stained?  Could a weakness of the eye muscles be causing this?  Someone said
I spend too much time at the computer – could that be the problem?  I would
love any suggestion, as I don’t know anything about the eyes. Please help –
I’M MISERABLE.
