Yes.
It is just myasthenia gravis of the eyes.
Actually it is very typical for MG to start in the eyes.

Well yes, this part I know. Wanted to know MORE info on it other than what I can find on the internet..lol My hubby has it.

MT it's an autoimmune disease that starts in the eyes and can progress to other parts of the body. The first symptom is a droopy eyelid usually. It can progress far enough to shut down your breathing.
