Members overwhelmingly confirmed that fibromyalgia can affect vision, contrary to what one member's doctor said, with many describing issues like difficulty focusing, blurred vision, dry eyes, light sensitivity, and eye pain that worsens with fatigue. Several members found relief through new glasses or progressive lenses with tints, particularly for astigmatism, while others noted that medications like Lyrica can contribute to vision problems and that the process of finding the right prescription often requires multiple adjustments and specialist visits. A recurring theme was the importance of seeking care from knowledgeable eye doctors who understand fibromyalgia and advocating for regular monitoring, as muscle fatigue from fibro can directly impact the eye muscles and worsen over time.
