About a week ago I got up and put my glasses on and just thought they were dirty so I cleaned them. But then I turned the tv on and couldn't read the guide. All the wording was blurry. I just got this new prescription in January so it's not that I'm due to have my eyes checked. No. Somethings off and it's affecting my vision. Has this happened to anyone else and does it correct itself eventually? this is so weird.

Members resonated strongly with someone experiencing sudden overnight vision changes, sharing that blurred or glazed vision is a common fibromyalgia symptom that often fluctuates unpredictably, worsens with fatigue or pain, and affects both near and distance sight even when eye exams come back normal. Several members suggested talking to a doctor or pharmacist about whether medications like Gabapentin or sumatriptan might be contributing to vision issues, while others described practical workarounds like avoiding driving during flare-ups or closing one eye to help the other adjust. A recurring theme was the frustration of having excellent eye health according to professionals yet still experiencing debilitating visual disturbances, with members finding comfort in knowing they're not alone in this confusing and isolating symptom.

Fibromyalgia causes blurred vision

This has happened to me this morning when I got up. I took a sumatriptan last night to hopefully reduce my migraine, which it started to do a bit, but all day today I've had blurred vision, double vision and felt like i had a sheet over my ears, they hurt so much. I too have had an eye test in April 2016. Won't be taking another one of these until I speak to my GP next week. My migraine has never affected my vision in any way so I don't believe it is down to that

I have glasses that I only have to wear when I work at night, mostly for eye strain, but more recently I have had the same blurred vision, and watery eyes when I try to focus on something for too long. I think it is the worst at night.
