Anyone's eyes not working right?

[[tb...]]

Hey ya'll! I'm 12 months out now. I am doing much better at maybe 80/100. The main symptom that is with me is my eyes. I really hope that it goes away. I expected to be healed by now 

 

My eyes just aren't working properly. Here's a few things:

 

1.When I look at something continuously for maybe 30 seconds my eyes glaze over.  it takes them a while to readjust looking at something else.

 

2. Every time the lighting changes, they freak out and don't know how to readjust.

 

3. They just overall feel weird. Hard to explain

 

Does anybody else have any eye problems? Thanks for helping me out

Sensory problems are fairly normal. It is one of my few remaining problems. I have blurry vision often.  I can't say when our vision will get better but it will, just like our other symptoms did.

It might be a good idea to have an eye exam done.....just to make sure its nothing else. I did, finally, and the first two readings I had abnormally high eye pressures. I have to go back again and have it re-tested....may need glaucoma meds.

I have a lot of problems with my eyes when I'm in a bad wave. They don't focus correctly, I get ocular migraines (silvery zigzags in peripheral vision in one eye for about 20-25 minutes - I'm partially blinded by these), and I feel as if my eyes are crossed. For a long time I had extreme light sensitivity and at times had to wear sunglasses in my home because it was too bright. I went to the optometrist a few months ago, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. From what I read on BB, it seems like a common problem during w/d. There have been posts about people having problems with their pupils adjusting to light. You might read some of those if that's part of what you're experiencing with your eyes.

I'm having problems with my eyes too, I get that glazed over effect when I stare at something for a while plus I've started to have muscle spasms in my bottom right eye lid which is really annoying!

Im not sure if this has to do with my eyes or cognition but on a bad day i feel like im cross eyed and my focus is partially on my surroundings and the sides of my nose.  Gets worse when accompanied with the brain tightness feeling.  Anyone have this???

My eyes are shot !!! I use to wear glasses now I can't even see in my own glasses so I don't wear them .l I get blurry vision and sometimes double vision .. I had it bad one day where everyone literally had four eyes stacked on top of each other I could only laugh . Plus I'm sensitive to light takes me awhile to focus when going from natural to artificial lighting

East benzos cause abnormally high eye pressures and intra occular eye pressures and pain and vision problems ...I hope its not glaucoma.

Eyes often feel like cotton balls. Dry and a bit bulgy. The more I require of them, the more my thinking becomes 'compressed.' My eyes too seem a bit glazy from the inside out -- everything looks a bit veiled as well, a pretty consistent feature since the onset of symptoms. Though at times, less hazy than others. Left eye twitched incessantly for 2 months, day and night. I think my vision shifted overnight as well, could just be my age though.

I was diagnosed with cataracts, I would like to blame the benzo s but could just be me...My eyes are so sensitive I wear sunglasses 24/7.... :thumbsup:Diane

I woke up feeling pretty good this morning. About an hour after getting out of bed my vision suddenly went double. This has been happening quite often. If I close one eye I can see just fine. If I close that eye and open the other I can still see fine. I just can't see with both eyes open. I tested the eyes one at a time and noticed that one was giving me a smaller picture than the other and was also at a lower level. By that I mean if I could put an imaginary horizontal line on the wall, one view was below the line and the other was above. And also one was a little tilted.

To make things worse, once it cleared up, in about twenty minutes, I began to get the derealization again...really bad. I got the chills of fear and not knowing what was happening...AGAIN. This is so horrifying. I wonder if the vision was some kind of a warning of what was to come.

My eyes are extremely painful while driving.  It feels like dry eyes, they burn and I have to squint.

I recently had some trouble with my eyes going out of focus, and with dim lighting messing up my vision.  Sometimes, things looked off balance somehow.  It was worse after spending time on the computer or reading. I got an eye exam, and it turned out I had a slight astigmatism in one eye, which the dr explained was throwing off my ability to focus and see things crisply.  I got a pair of reading glasses to correct that eye, and so far it seems to have helped.  Maybe you have a similar issue.

Yeah having to wear glasses and having vision distortions/disturbances is really a pain. Feels like I have aged about 25 years. I am getting jealous of my grandfather, lucky bastard has better memory than I do at the moment.

I am having bad eye problems as well..mine too feel like dry cotton balls.. And they burn and there glazed and red off and on. My vision is fuzzy or veiled or distant blurry. The corners feel slanted or closed a bit recently and eye gunk and lids and lashes itch sometimes. Sometimes when looking it takes seconds to adjust on something wherever I look. I felt I may go blind the other day lol pry a bad vision wave.  Its grainy and kinda pixelated. I'm 9 months.

Anyone having noticable eye changes should strongly consider getting an eye exam, if they haven't had one in the recent year or two.  Eye exams are good indicators of general health. The way your optical nerves look can indicate whether you are healthy or have certain diseases, like diabetes for example.  So it makes sense to treat them like you would an annual physical.
