Any longhaulers noticing vision changes?

I’ve noticed a change in my vision after I had covid in Feb 2022.

Approx 2-3 months I was at both of my boys’ football games. This is about 8-9am. And noticed the sun was extremely bright and became very uncomfortable. I started to look for shade. Didn’t think too much of the first time but then the following week …Same thing.
Maybe another 112 months go by and I notice my prescription eyeglasses weren’t working for me anymore. As if I needed a stronger prescription.
Now recently when I do wear them I feel more dizzy than I normally do. So I just take them off.
Also when I drive especially in the daytime I always lower my visor and passengers to minimize the brightness of the day.
At work I can only tolerate so many hours of working under Fluorescent lighting where as before having covid the artificial lighting was not a problem for me.

I had Covid in October,2021. My eyesight has steadily gotten worse. I am so light sensitive I must wear sunglasses not only outside but inside on bright days that allows sunlight inside. Bright lights are extremely insulting to my eyes. My eyesight becomes foggy to the point I cannot read. My ophthalmologist has no answer.
Extremely dry eyes. I use various wetting drops throughout the day and night. Finally got a new Rx drug that is sprayed into the inside of my nostrils that really helps. The name is Tyrvava. Doc gave me a sample to try and I went the whole night without waking with my lids glued shut. I have been using it over six months with great relief. I still have the sensitivity to light.
Since Covid, I am so fatigued I keep falling asleep throughout the day and can only walk short distance’s without resting.
My Cardiologist told me they are seeing a lot of this among their patients who are in their 80s and had Covid. I am almost 85.
