Yes! I had lasik surgery years ago, never had any issues until I got fibromyalgia, I ended up having to get glasses again it was so bad.

Yes, I've noticed this in the last few months. Blurring, especially in my right eye. Dry eyes. Also I've become very sensitive to light.
I found a link to a local service through the RNIB website. It's administered by my local NHS board, but you go to a local optician rather than hospital.
I've been given an appointment next week to have these problems checked out. They will try out special filters to see which one helps my light sensitivity best, and check my vision.
Perhaps you could check with a local optician to see if there is a similar scheme in Australia.
