Has anyone else had problems with there eye site?

Yes my eye sight has gotten worse but for now my glasses and contacts do help..but the contacts really bother my eyes so I don't wear them as much..u might want to go back and have your eyes checked again

With your glasses in AND off? That sounds like they made a mistake on the prescription

Mine got a little worse but when I was taking Topamax, they got crazy bad to where my glasses (that I had just gotten 2 months earlier) didn't work at all. I ended up stopping the medication because of other side effects, and turns out that was the culprit for my eyes too because my vision went back after a couple weeks off the topamax. I would have your eyes checked again and maybe even look into your medications to be sure one of those aren't a possible cause. Good luck!

My new script seems even worse then my last, but I was told our medications and combinations thereof can do this. Also the weaker the Fibromyalgia makes you, the eye muscles will inevitably weaken also. X
