I have blurred vision from epiretinal membranes (scar tissue on both retinas). The blurred vision came on suddenly and at the same time as the PMR body aches late October 2024. I have been thoroughly checked, examined, tested and do not have Giant Cell Arteritis. I think the blurred vision is associated with PMR caused by a short bout of inflammation of blood supply arteries to the eye, but that does not seem to be fully supported medically. The scar tissue on the retina can be removed via surgery, but I have opted to live with the blurred vision. Has anyone experience blurred vision (permanent) with PMR but without GCA? JED

I don't have GCA to my knowledge but certainly PMR. My vision is slightly blurred but mostly only one eye. I have a long history of recurring uveitis which is another autoimmune disorder that affects my eyes but mostly my left eye.

I have signs of scarring in various places throughout my eye because my whole eye can get inflamed. Multiple structures within my eye including the optic nerve can be involved. When that happens it is called panuveitis.
