tiffanie, I also have had dry eyes for years. Thankfully I have avoided the tear duct plugs. I was told that if you have them you have to be careful not to rub your eyes. I said that would be impossible for me so no plugs for me. What I wanted to suggest for you is something one of my doctors has suggested that has helped somewhat. He suggested using hot compresses on my eyes for 15 minutes twice a day. I didn't think much of the idea at first but tried it and it really does help. I found a compress for the eyes that you can put in the microwave that I use at bedtime. I put it on and usually fall asleep with it on. You can use a wet washrag too but it is more awkward. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, fibro affects vision. I had to get eye exams twice in same year! I got a whole new prescription within 5 months of having new glasses.

I find that the worse my fibro is playing up the worse my vision gets. It's very frustrating
