Any secret tips out there in Super💜 Luper Land for dealing with blurry eyes? I get so tired, so fast that I cannot see straight! I have tried drops💦, blinking them continuously and splashing them with cold water! Having to work does not allow for naps 💤when my eyeballs👀 need them? Any help is appreciated!🙏

I used restasis for dry eyes. The Dr said it takes a couple of months to get in your system but seriously like night and day difference. Also use systane to keep them lubricated though the day. Dry eyes are another symptom with lupus... Seems like lupus is just filled with all kinds of surprises. U can talk to your Dr about it for when you have your yearly plaquenil eye exam.

Yes to all the above. A cheap low tech trick is to have a very warm water soaked wash cloth over you closed eyes for 10-15 minutes. It always helps and seems to clear up my vision too.

I have severe dry eyes , and have used restasis, and refresh both worked well. But be careful get your eyes checked also because you very had dry eyes for several years and was prescribed the restasis by my MD but I went an had. A eye exam because my vision was just getting worse quickly I didn't know if it was any of the meds etc... Long story short to put the cherry on top of the cake, I have cataracts...... so be careful and get yearly eye exams
