Members rallied around someone struggling with constant headaches, trouble focusing, and eye pain, with most sharing that they too experience dry, burning eyes and vision problems since developing fibromyalgia. Several members recommended practical solutions like over-the-counter Systane eye drops, taking breaks from screens, and prescription Restasis for severe dryness, while others mentioned that their symptoms improved after seeing an optometrist who ruled out serious concerns. A recurring theme was the importance of consulting a doctor to rule out anything serious and exploring whether medications or fibromyalgia-related nerve pain might be contributing to these frustrating and stressful vision issues.

My goodness, seems as if you are not producing any lubrications at all for your eyes. A few years ago O was experiencing the same exact thing. My Optometrist gave me a prescription of RESTASIS 0.5% EYE EMULSION. I instilled one drop into both eyes twice a day and it worked very well. Right now Iโ€™m using over the counter SYSTANE EYE DROPS. They help. A lot, but Iโ€™m going to
Get another prescription of RESTASIS soon I hope because I seem to be in the same position as you. Praying for you. Feel better soon. Hope this helps ๐Ÿ˜Š

Yes and my eyes also feel dry. I have been using systane eye drops. They are over the counter med. really helps and sometimes I feel like I have strained my eyes from being on this cell phone too much so I donโ€™t for a while and give eyes a rest.
