Eye soreness? (self.Blind)
submitted by AlwaysLilly
I’ve got a retina check up in a couple of months. At that appointment I was going to bring up my worsening/more annoying strabismus/lazy eye.
Besides headaches, I’ve had a lot of soreness in my eyes. I assumed this was just strain on my muscles trying to work together.
Has anyone else experienced this? I wondered about my prescription but my glasses and contacts RX are less than a year old.

I hace RP and rod/cone dystrophy, I am dealing with daily, you should def tell your docs. I was told once it worsens the better it will be.

Thanks, it’s on my list of things to bring up. The pain/soreness isn’t daily anymore, but it is different. While my ROP has been fairly stable, I try to keep track of changes.

This could really be anything, from overuse of a computer up to changes in your vision. Bring it up with your doctor. You might also consider changing some of your behaviors and seeing if you notice a difference--for example, not using screens for three days and seeing if you notice any differences.

I will be sure to mention it. I have been reducing screen time in all forms and sleeping more to see if it helps and using artificial tears incase dryness was a possibility. I haven’t noticed a change but I’ll see where it goes.
