The one thing we all have in common is clusters. The second thing we have in common is that we suffer from the most severe pain known to man or woman. But, nowhere in the literature is eye damage mentioned.

However, I do have a permanent eye droop, as do many others here. That's because of damage (chronic irritation and compression) to the trigeminal nerve.

Chances are, your eye damage is the result of something totally unrelated to clusters (unless at some point you actually attempted to pluck your eye out).

Not trying to make light of your situation. I'm truly sorry you're having problems beyond the CH one. Eyesight is one sense I treasure more than most. Hope everything works out for you. What are your doctors suggesting?

Hugs,

Kris

I've also have the eye droop tha Kris mentioned, and other than that I'm in my late 40's and my eyesight needs a little bifocal help. One eye doctor looked at my eyes during a checkup and asked me when I had a brain injury. I asked her how she knew "that" and she said that my pupils were sized different, so I am not in a good position to be another example. Wish you the best with your situation. Joe
