I hate this if it aint the neck and shoulders at the PC its the blurred vision, one way or another i will take a final break and not return, i hate it i ware glasses and cant ware contacts but nothing helps the blurred vison i get while reading or tv or the pc is this common among us or am i just going blind????

Its a frequent problem for me, especially mornings and evenings when I'm tired. Although I do find during the day suddenly one eye will go blurry for a minute or two. I worry about optic neuritis, but my rheumatologist didn't seem to think it was a problem. (except to me!)

Dear rainmist please get yur eyes chekd ok?

The first time it happened was a Sunday and I went to the hospital to get it checked thanks, but they couldn't find anything wrong. It seems to be the way of Fibro - lots to feel and very little evidence as to why!

I asked my opthalmalogist about the blurred vision somethimes. He said it's due to dry eyes. It happens because while working on a computer or staring at a TV, we are not blinking our eyes as much.

Visine makes a product called Visine TEARS. It works great for me.

I also asked him about fibro and eyesight. He said that fibro doesn't cause poor vision. It's usually the meds that we are taking that is causing the eye problems. He also said that there isn't a way to tell if a person has fibro by doing the complete eye exam. You can try the visine tears. It works for me.

Thank you janilee, i will hav eto try the visine. This is a real issue for me. Leona

I was going to suggest it might be one of the meds you're on. Like Lyrica can cause blurred vision. It's not the only one, just the one that came to mind. If you're taking any meds, you might check the side effects.
