Anyone experiencing dry eyes and vision changes?

Posted by sanedeb3 @sanedeb3, May 16, 2022

Since October 2020, I have had progression in my eyes being dry and when I look at words, part of the letters are missing. I had a mri of my head and I saw my eye doctor for my annual exam. He says it’s dry eyes making the words not appear full. It’s very bothersome.

Google ipl for dry eyes. It stinks insurance won’t cover it but it works. My eyes were perfect before Covid. They got blurry and super dry for the last two years. Also in my X-ray lots of inflammation. The eye dr finally said I should try ipl. You do 4 treatments. One a month for 4 months then just once a year to maintain it.

You need to find a Dr that thinks outside the box! I finally did and it has made a world of difference!

I have suffered from dry eye and inflamed eyelids for twenty years or more. After having Covid last August, it re-emerged about December to make my dry eye even worse. Very sore and itchy eyelids and no it is below my eyes and a rash on my face. I went to the eye doctor last week and tried to explain that I have Long-Covid now and I have been trying everything. I also went to a determatologist. Both of these doctors treated me as if I am crazy. It seems no one wants to try to help me. My eyes and skin burn and itch and are raw and red.

I have similar symptoms. My Opthalmologist said I have rosacea, but didn’t offer a solution.

What has worked the best for me is LDN 4 mg and methylene blue. My biggest problem besides pain mostly in muscles is oxygen fluctuating. The methylene blue helps that. I do 20 min on NuStep machine at least 5 days a week….and lots of rest. Also I took injections of gluthiathon for 2 months along with NAC pills. I am much better but still not like I was before COVID.

I’ve also had dry eyes and continued poor vision. Have an eye exam soon but it’s good to know (?!) that this might be just another ridiculous LC symptom. Fifteen months and still no recovery.
