I already know that I have fast developing posterior subcapsular cataracts in both eyes. My eye docs for the past 15 years or so have all told me they never saw anyone with such dry eyes, but I never did anything about it. Can't wear contacts, they pop right out of my eye as soon as I stop putting in drops to moisten them. (Was able to wear the AccuView Oasis for a few years, but then wanted to rip them out of my head after only an hour, so quit wearing them)
I saw a mention of Fuchs Dystrophy in my medical record, but not sure of the context. Is it possible to have extremely dry eye and Fuchys Dystrophy concurrently?
My eyes are very, very blurry when I first wake up, either from night time sleeping or even when opening my eyes after riding for an hour in the bright sun with my eyes closed due to glare, but the longer I am up with eyes open, the better my vision clears. Its taking longer to improve these past couple of weeks, and it doesn't seem to be improving as much as it used to, which could be the cataracts. My last eye doc finally convinced me of why I need to use drops for dry eye, and have discovered it does help with blurriness, or at least it used to. This past week it doesn't seem to have helped at all, and my eyes feel like they are sticky to the underside of my lid, or a fine sandpaper under my lid every time I blink. No amount of drops seems to be helping anymore. I see halos everywhere, bright light or dark ambiance lighting, even my hands are halos now.
I did read that if you have Fuchs Dystrophy, precautions must be taken for cataract surgery, as if I don't already have issues with my anemia for that! (I have a couple of other posts about that)
I am 47 years old and my eye exam notes also indicated that there was no guttae.
