Yes, it can because FM is neurological the nerves in your eyes can also be affected. The nervous system deteriorates in FM patients, so the nerves to our eyes can deteriorate and cause problems. It’s a good idea to get your eyes checked each year. My eyesight seems to keep changing, so I need to keep updating my prescription.

Nutritional deficiencies, as well as some of the medications we take, can make our eye issues worse.

Blurred or impaired vision: The ocular muscles that are affected by FM can cause us to experience double or blurred vision. This is especially true when I’m tired. I notice my vision is apt to get more blurry when I’m tired or looking at a screen too long, whether it’s my phone, tablet, or TV. To give my eyes a much-needed break, I listen to an audio book with my eyes closed. Blurry and double vision are common and can be linked to postural dizziness and vertigo. If I get up too fast I’ll get dizzy.

Gentle hugs!

Yes it can. My eyesight has definitely gotten worse. Without corrective lenses I can not even see two feet in front of my face, where before I struggled to see but I could actually drive without my contacts.
