It is coincidental you mentioned these symptoms because I just went to the eye doc for the exact same issues. The eye doc has me doing eye lubricant drops 3x a day(called Refresh by Optive....he gave me lots of samples because it is expensive). Also, a very thick one at night before bed. He said we start with the assumption of dry eyes because he said they looked irritated, and then go from there. I like this eye doc, he is practical and before sending me off to expensive eye specialist and thousands in tests, he starts simply. It has helped a bit but I am now stopping reading the second the blurriness starts. previously, I had foolishly kept pushing myself and reading/squinting/closing one eye until everything was a blur ...I know, pretty dumb.
I dont take Neurontin but the similar drug Lyrica, but a very small dose, only 100 mg a day. Have not increased in awhile.
I have an astigmatism as well...have a prism in my eyeglasses that is extremely helpful. Doc also put anti glare on my glasses and it was like a miracle for driving in the sun and night.
I hope you find a solution for the blurriness.....I know it is concerning.
My best, Diandra
