k, feel a bit stupid posting this, but you know how HA is.
I think I have dry eyes. They get blurry but it feels like when I blink a bit it gets a little better. It comes and goes. Also a little burning, and quite easily irritated. I was tested at 20-20 vision a year ago, and it is not always like this. I also have allergies and am on an anti-histamine which lists dry eyes as a side effect.
So a normal person would pick up some OTC eye drops and leave it at that, but I made the mistake of googling different types of eye drops so I knew what to get and keep seeing things about dry eyes being caused by autoimmune diseases and other problems and to see a doctor if you have this issue. I mean it doesn't bother me too much that I even really thought I needed to see a doctor, figured picking up some eye drops would help and that would be it. But now I am quite nervous! I didn't even mean to scare myself!
Any thoughts? Anybody deal with dry eyes frequently? Does it really warrant a doctor's trip and full eye exam?
