I know decreased vision is one of the symptoms of dry eyes. However, I was wondering about others' experiences with it.
I'm in my late twenties and ever since my dry eyes got so bad that I couldn't wear contacts (about 2.5 years ago), my vision seems to have reverted again. It was pretty stable in my early twenties at about -2.25. I went for my annual eye exam recently and they're at -3.5 now, which is down from the -2.75 they were last year at this time.
My optometrist said my eyes really should be stable by now and certainly not changing in such a big jump, so he recommended computer glasses before changing my glasses RX (1/2 my full RX power) as he thinks my eyes are stressed and tired from 7+ hours of computer work M-F. Has anyone had this help them?
Also, I've been slacking on using regular lubricating drops for the past year. Would this possibly be an additional cause to my worsening vision?
Or is it likely and possible that my eyes are still just changing and might continue to do so for years to come?
