Hey Question Of The Day; How Many Of You Experience Dry Eye Problems Or Problems With Your Eyes In General? Is This Related To Your Fibro?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have to take drops daily to combat my photosensitivity and wear axon optics glasses to filter the light. (Although I admit I dont do the drops daily bc it's expensive and try to wait it out until it gets bad... like today but now I'm having glasses problems so idk if it's me or my prescription 🤣)

So does anyone else deal with eye issues too?? Is this a fibro thing? Any tips? Any stories? Love to hear from everyone :) 👀👁

I had cataract surgery this past month and I also have dry eyes. Doctor recommended I use Blink lubricating eye drops, can be used two or three times a day. I found relief. Can buy over the counter. Hope it helps.
