Yes. In fact my primary care doctor was having me walk during my last physical and she commented on how bad my balance was. Not that I didn't already know.

Yes, one of my eyes are worse than the other so my ballance is rubbish!

I switched martial arts because I couldn't stand on one leg long enough to do teakwondo thanks to vision related balance issues. It's very common.

I get motion sickness very easily (taking ginger pills helps), something that didn't happen often back when my eyesight was still kind of ok.

Wait omg is this a thing? I've had HORRIBLE motion sickness since my last steep visual decline a few years ago and I thought it was coincidence.

Yes! I'm very disoriented when I'm not holding on to someone or something. I hate it. I think canes help with this though? I'm not sure, I'm still waiting to be approved for one.

My balance has always been horrible. I think it's because one of my eyes is worse than the other.

No. I didn't even know this was a thing.

Interesting. My eyesight has gotten worse over the last several years and I’ve noticed my balance has gotten bad as well. I never connected the two but now it makes sense.
