Members widely confirmed that blurry vision and dry eyes are common with fibromyalgia, with many noting that both the condition itself and the medications used to treat it can cause or worsen these symptoms. Several members shared practical solutions including prescription eye drops like Restasis, getting updated glasses or contact prescriptions regularly, and using techniques like blinking or closing the eyes briefly to help refocus and moisten them. A recurring theme was frustration with vision changes that persist despite stable prescriptions, and the challenge of managing symptoms that are compounded by medication side effects.

I get that way. It's like I'm unable to focus. I have to close my eyes, then blink to moisten my eyes up till it clears back up.

I'm newly dx'd so this is all new to me. But for the past couple weeks my eyes have been so dry and blurry, it's crazy! At first I thought it was just from being tired but my doc said its a symptom. He did not however, give me anything to help with it. What kind of drops do you use?
