Are you experiencing halos around your eyes or vision? That's worth paying attention to!

Visual disturbances, including halos, can be linked to fibromyalgia. The condition affects the nervous system, which can sometimes cause sensory sensitivities — including how the eyes process light.

Some common eye-related experiences reported by people with fibromyalgia include:

- Sensitivity to bright lights
- Blurred vision
- Dry eyes
- Seeing halos or visual disturbances

It's really important to mention this symptom to your doctor, as they can help determine whether it's connected to your fibromyalgia or needs further investigation. Don't ignore it — your eyes deserve as much care as the rest of you!

In the meantime, some things that may help with light sensitivity include:
- Wearing sunglasses outdoors
- Reducing screen brightness
- Using warm, softer lighting indoors
