Title: Our eyes on cloudy or rainy days
Post by: Bucky on January 11, 2013, 07:02:55 AM
Do you guys notice that it's harder for you to see clearly on cloudy, gray days or on rainy days with our dry eyes?

I also have these lovely (NOT) floaters and on days like those mentioned above they seem to be very active, especially while driving.

I'm very light sensitive - so the bright sunshine bothers me, but this grayness bothers me too . . . I don't know which is worse.  ???

Anybody else notice this problem?

Hmm it seems to be opposite for me, well the humidity part. My eyes retain more moisture on humid days, more moisture for me means I see clearer. When they are really dry they are fuzzy.

We have wore our sun glasses on both sunny, and cloudy days.

Don't know if this would work for what you describe Bucky.

On most days I have on my sunglasses.  But recently, I either watched a tv segment or read an article
about putting on your sunglasses when driving in heavy rain with poor visibility and it helps. I was intrigued &
managed to remember that little factoid in a recent, driving rain storm..& lo & behold, it really worked. I don't know
if it would work on just random rainy days (vs. a driving rain storm), but it is worth a quick look-see to find out.  :o

Check your meds side effects. A couple of mine cause night blindness...

And if you have ever been on steroids, you can develop cataracts very quickly.
