Hi, i was wondering if you have had any solution to this problem?
My daughter is 11, she was diagnosed with frontal lobe epilepsy in 2006, but the problem with her eyes is relatively new. Usually a sleep helps to clear it, however for the past 3 days she has been in a constant state of almost blindness. She describes it exactly as your son, with double and blurred vision and her eyes are going up and up and up, just without the headache.
She is currently taking Oxcarbazepine and Clobozam and had medication increase in past 2 months, so was wondering if you found any answers??

My 7 year old son is experiencing the same thing. They just increased his tegretol from 400 mg to 600 mg per day but he has been experiencing a lot of double vision, blurred vision and he describes his eyes are going up, and up and up and then blurry and a headache precedes.
I'm not sure if this has to do with the medication increase or seizures but it is happening every day. He was diagnosed with left temporal lobe epilepsy in September 2011 so we are fairly new to this. We've only met with a neurologist once and are still in the early stages of diagnosis.
