What Is The Cause Of Long Distance Visual Problem?
Four years ago, I was diagnosed with anterior scleritis in my left eye. No other episodes since, but 3 weeks ago I had a change in vision requiring use of my OTC reading glasses. About a week ago, I had experienced some mild boring pain at night, but without any eye redness. It went away. Now, for about 3 days, I'm experiencing longer distance visual problems and I continue to require use of my OTC reading glasses. I am a white female, age 50 with some mild hypertension and a diagnosis of diffuse connective tissue disease. Need some advice on what to do. I have no health insurance at this time. Thx
