Problem with eye sight
All of a sudden I am experiencing vision problem intermittently. Some times I can see clearly, but unable to see clearly on some occasions. Particularly I am experiencing problem of feeling correct distance while walking, getting down staircase etc. I am unable to read properly with glasses also.
I have consulted eye surgeon and she checked syes and confirmed that there is no problem in eyes. It may be due to dryness in eyes and she prescribed drops Lubrex, which I am using at present.

at this age you may have both dryness and cataract. in bot conditions you are never satisfied with your glasses till you get operated. for dry eyes you can use lubricant eye drops and follow some precautions e.g. close your eyes for 20 seconds after every 20 minutes. don't sit facing towards A.C.. and take omega 3 fttyacids

Hello,
The vision problem may be because of changes in your lens that occur because of ageing. Get dilated examination done of your eyes for lens, retina. Hope that will help in understanding your eye problem.

Dryness is very common at your age, and yes, it can cause these symptoms.
If u are not satisfied with your doctors advice, then take a second opinion. You symptoms can be caused by many diseases of the eye like refractive errors and cataract for example. We cannot come to a conclusion without examining your eye first.
If u do have dryness, i would recommend OPTIVE eye drops to be used 6-8 times per day depending on the severity of the problem. U may need to use an additional ointment (LACRIGEL) before bedtime too.
Also, I have found that long term Omega 3 fatty acid supplementation has a very good effect on dryness. (Capsule OSMEGA 500).
