Anyone out there having trouble with their vision becasue of their thyroid? I read somewehre that it can affect vision. Mine has been going down hill since I was diagnosed.
Any way to curb it?

    I have always had a slight astigmatism and noticed that in the last few years I would get eye fatigue more easily. I have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and started meds. it will be interesting to see if my eye fatigue will improve. what kind of vision problems do you have ?

    Hi, New here nice to meet yall.

    I've been on meds for Hypothyroidism for decades (levoxyl).
    In the last 5 yrs or so my vision has been rapidly deteriorating.
    I had no idea thyroid played a roll in vision issues.
    I can't see far, I can't see close, sometimes things are just
    plain blurry as ...
    Does this have something to do with if you're on meds or not?
    I take my meds daily like clockwork..
