Blurry Vision

[indysteel]

I've had flashes for years. They have been diagnosed as occular migraines, but I don't get a headache with them. When I do get migraines with my period, I don't get auras. The floaters started a couple of years ago. First in one eye and then the other. My vitreous was in the process of detaching, although I'm fairly young for that to happen. Doc kept a close eye on my eyes for a few months. I had my eyes dialated every week for a while and was told to lay off any high impact stuff. What fun that was.

Diagnosis: Dry eyes! I started using drops today that the doctor gave me, and what a difference!

Yay! So glad that's all it was. I was really worried.

I'm glad it was something as benign as dry eyes. My eyes have been crazy dry, too. Air conditioning is a blessing and a curse!

The funny thing is that they don't "feel" dry. So it never occurred to me that it was something so silly.

My dry eyes don't particularly bother me unless I'm wearing my contacts (which is most of the day). If you don't wear contacts, perhaps that's why you didn't notice that they were dry.
