I guess that's a silly question. When would I not worry? Anyway...
About six weeks ago it seemingly came on overnight. My eyes were okay (except for intermittent) blurred vision. I got a sandpaper type feeling at night. When I saw the eye doc, he was quick to tell me this did NOT happen overnight. He was very quick to tell me about all his knowledge of wgs although he kept calling it cellulitis. I didn't pay much attention to his "knowledge". He was certain vasculitis has nothing to do with my eye issues. He looked at me and said the cause is "old age and living in the dessert". Okay... if you say so. He gave me eye drops that do not help.
Since that day, two weeks ago, my eyes have become worse. They give out on me about an hour before bed. I can't read, or see very well. They burn, and feel like sandpaper. Currently, they are worse is in the morning. I wake up and can't see well for about an hour. They are crusted shut, so I have to clean them thoroughly with warm water. As the day progresses, my vision improves. I read his diagnosis, and it's keratoconjunctivitis. I think it's important to remember, prior to about 6 weeks ago, I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. Yes, I'm getting older. Yes, I live in the dessert. I've been here for twenty years.
I think it's related. I wonder if anyone else here has a similar issue and what do you do about it?
