Eyesight,

[illo]

Anyone notice eyesight deterioration on tx?  I notice mine are blurrier.

I guess a liver transplant is worse than blurrier eyes.

I have many floaters on my eyes, but I only see them when the light shines from the side in front of me. I hope they will go away after tx. is over. I did have an eye exam on tx. and there was very little change from 2 years ago.

Yes, I have this problem ... and it is getting worse

All the best!

This scares the heck out of me since I'm an illustrator and jewelry designer.
I just don't know if it's worth it.....
I found this article:

Eyesight

Some people with hepatitis C report being more sensitive to light and, after starting treatment, experience an even greater sensitivity to light. Many people find that they need to wear sunglasses more often which can help reduce the amount of light exposed to the eyes.

Some people report a rapid deterioration in their eyesight during and after treatment. This is because of changes to the muscles within the eyes that allow us to focus. People on treatment who already have weak eyesight are at a higher risk of this side effect. Persisting eye problems usually require permanent corrective devices like glasses or contact lenses. It is important to report any changes in your eyesight with your doctor and ophthalmologist.

I have to wear sunglasses even when it's raining!

I had to go out and get sunglasses that were black and wrapped around b/c my eyes were so light sensitive, also went up on readers. I know that dry eyes can also exacerbate this, and use gel drops at night. Drink lots of fluids, keep well hydrated. I'm glad to know it's not just me - this forum is a great resource.
Thanks
