The Obvious Warning Signs Of Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA)

Vision Problems

Many, many men with SCA have vision problems. Sad. A common one to expect? Reduced low contrast sensitivity. You know what this means, men! Driving at night's going to be harder. You can't see as well in low light. No, not well at all. Men, you'll have issues with stereoacuity too. That makes dimensions and the differences in them very, very hard for you to see. So hard! The result? Pouring water or walking up stairs becomes challenging.

It's so, so common to have double or blurry vision too, men. These ones come from 2 eye movement problems. Men, you know the first one: nystagmus. Yes. That's talking about random, uncontrolled eye movement, obviously. The second one's distance esophoria. Men, this one's when your eyes turn inward when you're looking at something! Some of you only get this one. Win.
