I experienced blurry vison and saw my ophthalmologist assuming my cataracts had matured. Instead the Sjogren's that had previously only caused dry mouth was causing dry eyes, which, in turn, was causing the blurriness. As you explore autoimmune diseases, Sjogren's should be on your list to confirm or eliminate. Once thought to cause only dry mouth and eyes, we now know it can affect many different organs (often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia) .

Thank you for sharing your experience with Sjogren’s and that it’s often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. Sjogren’s is definitely on my list of possible autoimmune diseases that can impact eyes and vision. Again, thank you for sharing your experience with it and making sure it’s on my radar.
