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
