@River Song How often do you apply your drops?

Usually first thing in the morning, then maybe again during the day if I'm reading a lot on devices. It's easy to forget to blink more often when you're looking at devices. I also make it a point to look up often and focus on something in the distance.

Hi @On It I know you were asking someone else, but I started using eye drops over 20 years ago after Lasik eye surgery (when I was in my late 30s), which has been a magnificent success to this day, but do require lots eye drops right after surgery. In my mid-fifties, I started needing eye drops again. I use the same ones the Lasik doctor recommended because they have no preservatives and can be used as much and as often as needed. I use Theratears dry eye therapy, single-use vials. The vials can be reclosed, and if there is some liquid left in the vial and I need it the next day, I will use it. There are less expensive options that are safe, but I believe these are the safest and most effective drops, because I can use as much and as often as I need, and they have no preservatives. I have lots of allergies. I don't use the drops every day. Sometimes I go weeks without needing them.
Hope this helps.

If you have no serious health conditions contributing to the problem, then I would say it's part of the aging process. I have no problem with my eyes. Just recently had them checked and doctor said I'm in tip top shape. However, I do get blurriness after I read. I wear glasses now for close up work and that helps. Muscles change and sometimes weaken as we age. Try readers if you haven't already.

Yes, except I don't read all that much nowadays. On this tablet too long? My eyes have to refocus on the surroundings. Our 4 season patio room is all glass and on the south side of our house. Very bright for my old eyes so I wear a baseball type hat on bright sunny days.
Think since I had cataract surgery on both eyes, it made everything much more vivid. Think maybe that made my eyes more sensitive to brightness.
Age? I started wearing bifocals at 45 years old. A few years later needed to go to trifocals. Had Multi-focal iol put in left eye, and Mono-focal iol put in my right eye. No longer need glasses for distance or small print reading.

@On It The blue light blocking/filter can be part of the prescription for glasses. Both husband and I spend too much time at a computer screen....went for new glasses a few weeks ago and it was suggested as part of the prescription. New news to me....and I love my new glasses.

My two favorite passtimes, this computer and reading, both for hours each day. OK, now I get it. The blue light from the computer is why my vision is blurry after reading a book for a couple hours?
