Members shared widespread experiences of worsening eyesight related to fibromyalgia and medications, with symptoms including blurry vision, double vision, auras, dryness, and fluctuating clarity that sometimes made even prescription glasses feel inadequate. Several members described practical approaches to managing these issues, such as using lubricating eye drops like Blink, trying OCuSoft lid scrubs for dry eyelids, and working with eye doctors to get referrals covered by insurance. A recurring theme was the connection between fibromyalgia, medications like Lyrica, and vision changes, with some members noting cataracts as a complicating factor and others finding reassurance that fluctuating vision can sometimes resolve on its own.

My eyesight has been getting crazy for a while. Now. Still learning about fibro just got diagnosed last month. And they get awfully dry. Got new glasses before i found out. Eye drops help. Been using Blink.

It sounds like migraine headaches. Auras and blurry vision are symptoms of migraines. I have allergies that create lots of eye gunk. I use OCuSoft lid scrubs to cleanse my eyelids and they are better.
