vision problems related to Fibro?

I've been suffering from periods of split vision, whereas it starts with a ghost image above what I see, and most often a third image appears below.  Sometimes its mild, and sometimes its so bad, I can't read words 10 feet from the TV.  I must move to within 12 inches from the set to recognize the jumbled image.  Could this be a fibro thing?  Three Opthamalagists, one neurological optha as well, don't have a clue what it is.  My current glasses have no effect on this vision problem when it occurs.  I'd love some help!

You should definitely see a specialist. I know I had vision problems a few times over the last decade that I found out later was from CFS. In my case, my vision would become blurry... and this would usually happen in the early evening.

I have what seems to be the same vision problems as "fibromed".  My vision gets blurry and I feel the need to  rub them -- it seems like there is a film of saran wrap over my eyeballs and I can't peel it off.  My eyes get more tired as the day goes on.  My medications are Fentyl pain patch for pain, Darvocet and naproxen for break-through pain, Elavil, Effexor, and Celexa for SSRIs, Zocor for cholesterol control, Premarin (estrogen since I had a total hysterectomy), lisinopril for blood pressure, and synthroid for thyroid difficiency .  I used to take Neuronton but the doctor took me off that and I haven't noticed a difference.
