Vision issues like double vision aren't a commonly noted comorbidity of prurigo nodularis specifically, so it's great that you're already heading to get your eyes checked out by a professional.
What PN is known to affect, beyond the skin, includes things like:
- Sleep — intense nighttime itching can seriously disrupt rest
- Mental health — anxiety and depression are common companions of PN
- Heart and lung health — these have been linked as comorbidities
- Overall quality of life — the itch-scratch cycle takes a real toll
It's always a good idea to keep your primary care doctor in the loop about any new or worsening symptoms, so they can look at your whole health picture together. Managing everything as one big picture, rather than in isolation, tends to give the best outcomes.
