While I am having some vision problems including slight double vision blurred vision shadows in my vision spots weak eye muscles my doctor discovered iron deficiency anemia. He checked for bleeding and none found. My diet is high in iron.. I eat meat at least two times daily. Any ideas of why this is happening? Could this be what's messing my vision up?

I have to say I have got iron deficiency anaemia and vision problems and it has never been suggested to me that they might be connected and cannot imagine why they would be. No idea why this is happening and you may never find out, I certainly haven't although tests for IDA showed that I have a totally unconnected very rare liver disease called Caroli's disease.
Don't worry about it. My brother-in-law also has IDA much worse than me and had loads of tests and the cause has never been discovered so he just continued with the blood tests, medication and infusion and just accepts it as a way of life.

Thank you for the reply. Sounds like your brother and yourself have been through a lot. I'm hoping to get to the bottom of the vision problems but after seeing several eye doctors and neurologists I'm very discouraged.
