But I have now talked to some one who had Eds and has the same problems as me so just wanted to no if this is common with Eds. here is how I would explain my vision" (I have trouble focusing between far and close objects, also experiencing a kind of constant mild double vision as if my eyes aren't "synced", same for tracking and reading text.

Hi @cobs81 - Welcome to the community, & thank you for joining. I have the hypermobile type of EDS, which is the most common type. Visual problems are not mentioned much in EDS other than myopia, which is common in the general population, & strabismus, where your eyes focus in different directions, which is more common in EDS than the general population.All I can suggest, when this is possible once more, is to see an optician to discuss your concerns.We have other members that have the same type of EDS as myself, so perhaps they may mention their personal experiences. I have done a lot of research about EDS, so I'm just saying what I have found.
