i don't have dry eyes but always hurting not quite a burn but use drops or clear water everynight -they feel dirty! lol sorry but thats hoew they feel like something very fine is in my eye! i did mention 2wks back i noticed the white part on bottom is covering the bottom of my IRIS someone posted all the correct terms i saw the primary & forgot to have him look! In 10 yrs, my eye site has gone from being able to actually write on a piece of rice to not seeing nothing even w/glasses on! Iam almost blind see only shapes & use to be exacate detail of everything! lol just read caRRIES POST MY GLASSES ARE SCRATCH NOT TOO! & BROKE OFF 1ARM @ COURT THE OTHER DAY! SO NOW IAM TURNING MY HEAD SIDEWISE TO READ EVERYTHING! SORRY! for caps stupid hands! but plez still get a eye check -up asap!

I have had quickly progressing eye problems too and was told by the pain clinic that is normal. I have to get glasses now. Fought it for a long time and decided the pharmacy was just making the writing smaller, as was advil and google and all food products...well you get the idea...I was in denial.
You mentioned carrots; that was actually propaganda from world war II, they had a lot of carrots for the soldiers so they told them it helped with night vision.
All fruits and vegetables do help, as do fish oils. Plaque in the arteries can effect eye sight as well.
FM could very well be your culprit. I have terrible night vision now. When I first started taking Lyrica I couldn't drive, or walk up stairs, I couldn't even watch tv, because it was fuzzy and I had double vision, the two tv's i saw overlapped each other. Took a few weeks and a lowering of my dose to stop that. Still always feel like I get a glare from everything.
Hope you figure out the cause, but you are right the eyes are pretty important so you need to take care of them.
i am on the computer more now so I try and remind myself to look away in to the distance now and again, they say that is good eye care as monitors are hard on the eye.
Cheers

I had to buy reading glasses and make my words on my computer bigger.

I am having a horrid time with my eyesight too. But it makes sense. Most of what your eye do is controlled by muscles. I need to make an eye appt too. Thanks for bringing up the subject and reminding me.

I have worn glasses since I have been 10 yrs old,. I have had Fibro since I was 11. I can tell you that I am near sighted which I don't think has anything to do with FM however, I have noticed, now that you mention it, my vision varies from day to day. I cannot wear bifocals because of my double astigmatism, so I have 2 pairs- one for distance and one for reading. I notice when my FM pain is the worst, and when I don't sleep well (which is most of the time) my vision is impaired.

I have had horrible eyesight since I was 9 years old. I started wearing contact lenses when I was 14 and I still wear them some, but in the last couple of years I wear glasses to work with bifocals. They say my eyesight isn't worse but it was never good either. My contacts are a -8.50, and my left eye is a lazy eye.

I had severe problems with my eyes in the first few years of my diagnosis. Had pseudotumor, iritis, and numerous other problems. I still have Sicca syndrome and Sjogren's which causes extreme dryness. I use preserative free artifical tears and Restasis as well, but the dryness can cause blurred vision also. I have been told repeatedly by eye specialist to make conscientious efforts to blink my eyes while on computer to try to help with dryness as when we read or get on computer, we fail to blink as often. Keep a. tears beside my computer and use them throughout the day. Also drs. recommended the salves at night mfg by same companies that mfg. tears. One last suggestion, Dr. Christopher's Eyebright is name of a supplement that one specialist started me using, and it does seem to help. Cautioned me to only use that brand as others don't have same ingredients. Haven't double checked in last couple of years and there could be other available w/same ingredients. Also have to always wear sunglasses when outside as eyes are very sensitive to light. Warned me not to have corrective surgery with dry eye condition. Probably seen 10-12 specialist over course of years. My eyes did finally stop changing as frequently after two or three years of constant change. Hopefully, you will get some relief soon. Get tested for Sjogren's or either have Dr. check for adequate tear production. I had plugs, but they did not help significantly.

could be a side effect of the lyrica

Yes i constantly have issues. Feels like pressure behind them, dryness, focus issues etc. I hear ya !

Yes, my eyes are getting more near-sighted. They are also chronically dry and itchy especially the L eye.
