What do you think could be causing vision issues ?

So for around 5-6 months now I’ve had blury vision ,especially in left eye.
I blink and the blury goes but comes back etc
I have days when they just run constantly from the side of my eye ,even when I’m in indoors.
I am meant to wear glasses for long distance and when watching tv I will sometimes have to squint.
I lost my glasses about a year ago.
About a month ago I went to eye infirmary and they said everything looked fine and eye pressure was fine etc.
I also am on my computer for work 8 hours per day and probably my phone most of the night.
Any ideas what could be causing it ?

Firstly get some new glasses - if you're squinting at the TV, you are probably straining them all the time. You might need them for the computer too.
I really hope you don't drive!!!

You could have a dry eye problem, it hay fever/allergy, or something else.

Get an appointment at the opticians.

How old are you? Peri/menopause can impact on many things.

I had this problem when I had dry eye. I got it treated by an excellent optometrist and all is well now.

Yeah I have a eye test booked for 6 days
I am in my late 30s nearly 40!

Can you remember what your prescription was?

Do you drive?

Have you been checked for AMD?

Glad you're going for eye test, think from my own experience its v easy to put chges in vision , blurriness etc down to using computer, phone, being busy etc.

That wouldn't cause watery eye and she's a bit young for that. It's never a good idea to wildly throw out diagnoses when you clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

You could really worry someone.

OP - It's probably a bit of dryness and the need for glasses. The Optometrist will sort it out.
