#5 Multiple Sclerosis 

Multiple sclerosis is a relatively rare disease with only about 400,000 people in the U.S. suffering from it. But it’s a crippling neurological disorder that can really take a toll on a person if they’re ever diagnosed with it.

An Optometrist might be one of the first doctors to see signs of multiple sclerosis taking shape in your body. Those with MS will usually experience inflammation in their optic nerves.

The inflammation can cause everything from blurriness to double vision to occur. It can also make it very difficult for a person to do something as simple as move their eyes around. You shouldn’t ignore any of these signs as they could point to more than just eye problems.
