Funny you bring this up. I've had the optical migraine before and it's pretty bad. Not since meno though.

I noticed that I can't read small print as well as I used to. I had a checkup the year before meno started and was fine, now I struggle to read tiny print.

Since my whole system is super sensitive I also see (close) the slightest thing. It's really weird because I think I'm seeing things but there's really something there that I would probably not have ever noticed when I was normal.

I know exactly how you feel with "if it's not one thing it's another.
Just when I get used to a symptom and don't fear it any more
another pops up and I start the cycle all over again.

I would think though that what's going on with you is perfectly
normal for this time.

Hope it goes away soon! Donna

My eyes have been drier in menopause. I think its due to a drop in estrogen if Im not mistaken. I understand the "if its not one thing it's another". Just when you think you've got it down, another symptom likes to pop in. Your vision does change as you get older. My near vision has changed. Hang in there!

Never had good vision; wearing glasses since age 7. I am used to needing help to see so am not fighting any new ideas about my vision, such as I am planning to try a different contact lens next year for example. Also, I bought bifocals too and reading glasses just to have them as options. I am sure it is difficult to have great vision all your life, then have this happen though, so I am not trivializing the vision problem. I know someone posted on here stating that the cornea even changes shape a little due to hormones and that certainly keeps our vision unstable.

I use eye drops too bc I was told (and found out for myself) that it would help my vision be a bit clearer. I would suggest the type that is a gel solution. It seems to work quite well... DaisyC
