How are your eyes faring? What are your specific symptoms? What has worked at ameliorating them?
Searching or asking AI will give you more answers, and they will all sound quite similar, because this is a known problem with known solutions.
My symptoms are as follows:
* My eyes become dry very quickly if they are open at a normal width.
* Due to the above, I spend much of the day with my eyes in a fairly squinted configuration.
* I cannot read, eg, text on my phone without squinting.
* Covering one eye (particularly my left eye) seems to improve my vision.
* My eyes often hurt / burn, especially in the evening.
* I have gnarly floaters in my left eye.
* Reading glasses are not much help; in order to benefit from them, I need to open my eyes more, which makes them very dry within 60 seconds.
* My eyes are often red and cloudy, especially in the morning.
* I occasionally wake up during the night from pain / dryness in my eyes.
* Unlike what I understand is typical for presbyopia, my vision does not degrade throughout the day, and is often a bit better at night.
Observations about things that have changed this:
* Sub-freezing temps seem to bring about a fairly fast (ie, within 1-2 days) and dramatic relief. Each year for the past few, I've gone to Colorado in mid-Feb for three weeks or so, and these are the best vision weeks of the year. However, I spend much of my time in Florida, so I rarely encounter cold temps.
* The drops that the doctor puts in to dilate pupils seem to trigger dramatic improvement, lasting 1-2 days.
* Spending time outside and using an RLCD monitor in the sun does seem to bring about some pain relief, but even multiple days in a row of this don't seem to improve my up-close vision or eye dryness.
I've tried searching every term I can think of, and as I say, I've seen multiple doctors (though I'm happy to go again). If anybody has any insight, I'd really value it. I'm struggling with this.
