@tarana Hi I have the same type of eye problems as you, but i have never had eye surgery, to correct it, as all of my siblings have had, i wear spectacles with different lens. i also have eyes that have come very sensitive since my cataract were removed from both eyes i t has been suggested by my optician that my next spectacles i have a slight blue tint i wear sunglasses when it bright outside, but theyre better when its really sunny
i found out from the optician that i am better not wearing varifocals for driving, as the windscreen affects their effectiveness i find that i suffer from dry eye syndrome, so i have been prescribed drops 3 times a day, plus viscotears at night. best wishes folks

I have Blepharitis and dry eyes, for a few years I have had a developing cataract in my right eye, no treatment as yet no change for a year. I wear varifocals which I wear all day. None if the above has prevented me from daily activities.

I have various problems with my eyes.
The right one needs a cataract when its lens has clouded over enough and, currently, is down for laser treatment on 1st sep
The left one has a cataract from a few years back and is due laser treatment after the right one has been lazared.
I wear two types of glasses. One for pc work and one for reading. These will need replacing once all the laser treatment has been done.

I have trouble with using both eyes without my glasses. The left, in particular, has a cloud over it. The right one can see if I cover my left eye and move around to look at the text.
Hopefully, all will repair over time.
I have diabetes type 2 linsulin.

I have problems with my glasses when I'm using a face mask. I don't always remember to use my nose for breathing and my glasses get steamed up. Some days I'm lucky and remember to use my nose for a long period of time.

Hello everyone,
I thought I would open this discussion so we can get to know one another better!
How does your eye condition affect your daily life? Have you had to change aspects of your life or routine because of it? Have you had to give up activities you once enjoyed? How do you cope with it in the day-to-day? Do you have any advice to share to others living with an eye condition?

Feel free to share with us here!
Take care,
