I am having my eyes checked Tuesday for the first time in years. My vision comes, and goes. Sometimes it is fine, other times, it is all a blur. My eyes leak often, where people think I am crying, and recently they have been hurting. I mentioned this to my endo last month, and he told me to go to an eye doctor. I hope she is a good one..

As long as you’re seeing an ophthalmologist, you ought to be in good hands. Just a quick comment ~ when your vision is fluctuating, it’s possible that the issue is simply dryness. The extra tearing of your eyes is another clue ~ when our eyes are chronically dry, they keep trying to correct the situation with more tears, which may not do the job (when we have Graves’, our tears are insufficient to keep our eyes moist). Try using preservative-free "artificial tears" (NOT get-the-red-out drops) ~ they are eye drops in "single serving" tubes, and you can use them as often as you feel they are necessary without issue (that’s why we use preservative free). Using them often, you may feel better within a day or two.
