RE: Eyesight question nearsighted also

[Guest guest]

I just want to say, I am in the same boat, except, I have the same thing,

only when I have contacts in I have to use readers, when I have glasses on I

have to take them off and use nothing to read now, and when I have contacts in

sometimes have found I need the reader glasses on on top of them to watch t.v

also. Just had eye's done, and seem contacts are not right already, they say my

sight is not bad, but if I were to try and go solo I could not find my way

around my own house, and no way can I drive??? Old age, lol, but did have one of

my med's effecting sight. D/c'd

I have really bad eyesight but it's been that way since I was a kid and it

has gotten worse as I've gotten older especially lately. I am so

nearsighted that if I didn't have my contacts or glasses on you'd have to

lead me around. That's how bad it is. But in the last few years I've had

to get reading glasses to see anything up close - which is really weird

because nearsightedness means you can see up close - but now I can't without

the reading glasses. And I've had to change the strength on those to a

stronger prescription. So in my case, yes, mine vision seems to get worse.

Can't say for sure if its fibro related or just getting old :-) - but

either way, it bites.

Eyesight question

I have seen on here that fibro can mess up eyesight, but how bad?

Right now I am getting a new pair every year (that's what the insurance

will pay for.) But this last pair started failing me after only 3

months. If this keeps on my glasses will be 2 inches thick in ten

years. HAHA??? nope laughter doesn't help this one. I am very afraid

of going blind. Can anyone give me more info on this?

Thank you

Doreen
