I have complex partial seizures in my occipital lobe. Has anyone had problems with their eyesight? My seizures aren't under control.

Try talking to your neurologist, it can be either an overdose or your getting immune to the medicine. One time, when I was helping a person, I too had blurred vision and I was walking funny. The people around me said I was drunk at the time. When I got to the neurologist, it turns out that I was overdosing on one of my medication and with the weight playing the role, it was a guess of my own. If your doctor agrees, then you might be on your way in being seizure free!

I too have a similar issue. I myself have complex partial seizures too. I also have vision problem every now and then. I get blurr visions , black out a little for 1-2 seconds , but then I come back into normal vision.
The best way to know about your vision problem is an EEG. That should show what areas , the brain waves are active in. I bet the back of your brain where the brain controls what you see is where some of your brain waves are active.
