Members shared their experiences with vision problems related to fibromyalgia, with many describing a frustrating hazy film or blurriness that comes and goes despite having normal eye exams or corrective lenses. Several members noted that their prescriptions seem to change frequently or stop working consistently, and some mentioned practical remedies like using Optrex drops for dry eyes, though most agreed there's likely no permanent fix for this symptom. A recurring theme was the relief of knowing they weren't alone in experiencing these unpredictable vision changes, which many hadn't realized could be connected to fibromyalgia until reading others' experiences.

Don't think there's anything that can be done mind I use optrex for dry eyes and that helps at times! Find it so frustrating

Me too! I wear glasses daily due to severe nearsightedness but even with new glasses that correct to 20/20 I still get the hazy film and feel like my eyes are tired.
