My eyes started having troubles with my contacts about Mid-August. I would develop red rings around my eyes, pretty much where my contacts sat. Then developed a more overall blood shot look. I wore my contacts less and switched to my glasses as frequently as possible. Come September, I changed to a fresh pair of contacts to see if that made a difference, and it did for a few weeks, during the few hours a week that I wore them. But soon, my left eye was becoming more irritated and in pain, not just red in color. The redness went away within a day of not wearing my contacts.
Over during the last week, I noticed my eyesight, even with my glasses on, was getting worse. Sitting on the couch 15 feet away from the 36" TV is when I really started to notice the change. Fuzzy letters, fuzzy characters, frustration on my part.
Today I went to my eye doctor and it was surprising how blurred my left eye had become. My eyes, which hadn't changed in three years, had changed one "click" on the right but SEVEN "clicks" on the left. (Clicks being the term my optometrist used based on the eye vision equipment.) That's a lot!
In discussing the different ways that ones vision can change it's near-sighted-ness, Dr. Hartman mentioned that the inner lens in diabetics can change because of the sugar increase. It hit me, that I have my gestational diabetes test in a week, and does this eye issue indicate that I'll have gestational diabetes this time around.
I guess we have to wait and see . . .
