Hi Ginnie
I am truly sorry to hear about your sight problems. This must be very difficult to cope with on top of every thing else.
I think it would be more likely to be associated with Type 2 Diabetes. I assume that your optician had checked for cataracts? (You are a bit too young really
).
I ended up needing three sets of glasses (and then varifocals) One for reading one for TV/Computer and one for long distance. That was until I had acute angle glaucoma and had to have emergency eye laser treatment and then I didn't need any glasses for anything! I was told at follow up that I had early cataracts but at my age (then 60) it would be slow growing. Now unfortunately, although I still don't use glasses, it is like looking through a net curtain. Although Jamie has al kinds of magnifying over the computer screeens, I still have difficulty reading text and usually have to print things out and enlarge them.
The only people I have heard from with eye problems were from those people who had had Myodil myleograms Droplets of Myodil had affected the optic nerves.
Remember with any any type of diabetes you must have an eye test every year to check for ordinary glaucoma.
I hope, if no aswers then you can find a way round this as your eye sight is such precious sense, please let me know how you get on.
With sincere best wishes
Kim
Just had a thought, will ask DocSarah because there is a condition called bletheritis (another auto immune side effect) can certainly explain the watery eyes but is usually accompanied by itchy eyes as well.
