Yes i do - I've suffered very badly with visual disturbances for 6 years - artificial light causes my vision to go dark and stops me thinking properly - which i find scary - plus it makes me feel really ill (and i get tinnitus with it)

All the time i get blurred vision - as if light bounces off my nose and causes a hazy see-through blur, in the middle of my vision - whci is very annoying!

I also have high testosterone and LH levels.

I was diagnosed as having ME (Chronic fatigue syndrome) 6 years ago - but now the drs wonder whether PCOS is causing my problems.

Is there a link between visual problems and PCOS?

What are your vision problems like, if you don't mind me asking?
