Severe dry eyes using OTC drops with omega 3.

My eyes were also affected, first when I had covid in Feb. 2021 and then problems as a side effect each time I got a vaccine. I had a mild case of covid. I just thought I had a mild cold until I lost my ability to taste and smell. Both eyes had a sticky feel to them and my vision would blur. It would clear up when I blinked a few times. When I got the first Moderna vaccine in Mar. 2021, I got a large floater in the left eye. It cleared up after a few days along with other side effects of the vaccine. When I got the second Moderna vaccine in Apr. 2021, I saw flashing lights in the peripheral vision of my left eye. That also cleared up after a day or two along with other side effects of the vaccine. I have had dry eyes for many years and have not had any real problems with them. I had my regular eye exam in Apr. 2021 before my second vaccine. I told my eye doctor about the eye troubles I had when I had covid and after the first vaccine. She gave me a thorough exam. Everything checked out ok and there was no change in my vision. I have kept the same prescription for years. I just went to my yearly exam in Apr. 2022. I told her then that I had been having trouble with my left eye feeling "stickier" than the right eye and looking wetter. She found that the conjunctiva in the left eye had stretched slightly. My vision has also changed, but only slightly. She did a thorough exam including yearly pictures of the retina, macula and optic nerve. All of those remain healthy. I did get in a study last year which checked antibody levels from either having covid or the vaccines. They were checked three times in three month intervals. In each of my results, the levels were extremely high. My ability to taste and smell comes and goes, but has gotten a little better. There are studies out that say hyper-immunity could possibly cause problems down the line. we can only hope and pray for the best. I pray for everyone who has been affected by all this.
