Hello,
Over the last year or maybe a little longer, i have had a feeling of mild blurriness (coming and going) in both eyes. I had never had glasses before and went to see an eye doctor about 5 months ago. He said i had mild loss of vision in both eyes and gave me glasses. I have trouble seeing clarity in distance and driving at night and somtimes my computer screen when its not closer to my face. The doctor also said my eyes were fairly dry but not overly. I never actually have troubel seeing anything (ie. i can read for long periods of time, use my computer daily and have perfect colour vision).
My eyes have not gotten worse or better in the last year but the glasses don't seem to make a big difference. Somtimes my eyes seem a bit blurry or foggy until i close them for a couple minutes then it seems to clear up? I also occassionally have pain behind both eyes (but have allergies and minor sinus issues). I have tried using drugstore brand eyedrops which do nto seem to offer any help other than temporay relief(a few minutes). Do my symptoms (seeing as how they have lasted so long and are not acute) seem indicitive of Optical neuritis or possibly of dry eyes or somthing else.
My benefits only cover one eye exam a year and i am wanting to wait for another one unless it sounds urgent at all.
Thanks
Adrienne
