The LC Demon loves me. Eye issues here. I have it on my LC Symptom Tracker as "LC Eyes". Not so much sensitivity to light, but blurred vision. It happens intermittently but usually later in the day. Everything becomes blurry. I find it's exacerbated by stress. It started happening while I was hospitalized for Covid and recovering so I know this is directly related to the Covid Monster and his cousin the LC Demon.

I know what you mean. My eyes cannot re-focus. If I have been trying to read (very difficult) then switch to watching TV, it will take 15-20 minutes for the blurry, double vision to clear a bit.

I do pretty well with contact lenses, but my eyes have gotten so dry that I can only wear them for short periods of time.

My optometrist has me on steroid drops now, and the pain is better. Vision is still pretty bad.
I am still firmly in the grip of LC (three years). I wonder if I will ever recover, or even improve?!

Lasik in 2005 - no corrective lenses near 20/20.
Near sight brought need for OTC readers, eventually Rx readers.
Next single vision for far sight for driving only, specifically at night.
It was a challenge to see.
Enter COVID-LC: Total change in vision - new Rx readers worn all day; far sight became horrible at every distance. Got double vision (for far sight with bifocals, mainly for driving so I can see the road and the dash. Need a new pair to wear for inside distance and bifocals. I have 3 pairs of glasses on my person at all times. When I awake during the night I cannot read the fairly large digital number time on my watch even when “nose to nose”. At times I feel like my eyes are working independently of each other and it takes several blinks and looking from side to side a couple times before they focus. Like everything else, when tested in that moment, my prescription remains basically the same. It is a continuous struggled to see… If it’s been said before, it’s been said over and over here - I believe you. You are not alone.
