Does anyone's vision change from day to day?

For instance, I can see some today and tomorrow hardly anything.

  1. Yes, I have what I call good eye days and bad eye days. I am unsure if it is my AMD disease, stress, being tired, diet or what? It’s subtle but it happens with me.

    1. I, too, have wondered about the vision difference I have from one day to next. Is it changes in brightness (sunny vs. cloudy) or is this just a part of AMD?

      1. Yes, mine does. In fact I can sometimes see better in the morning and other times I can see better later on in the day. It's very irritating.

    2. I do experience day to day differences in my vision. In addition to dry AMD I also have dry eyes so I am of sure if one of both conditions is responsible. The weather makes a huge difference in how well I see.

      1. Hi , thank you for helping out by sharing your experience! How interesting to hear that the weather makes a huge difference in your visual ability - I haven't actually heard that before! What kind of weather is best for you and what's the worst? I'm curious to learn more! - Shelby, MacularDegeneration.net Team Member

      2. Bright sunshine days are best for me. Overcast or foggy days are bad. It becomes difficult for me to see light color vehicles before I am close to them. I have polarized sunglasses that help when driving.

    3. Oh my goodness I’m so glad to hear that other people have vision changes day to day. I go bi weekly to get my injections so I take an eye exam every time. Sometimes my eyes are2 lines better or worse than they were a few visits ago or even two weeks ago. I keep thinking I’m making this up but I know their is areal difference. Sometimes it severe and go back to the wavy lines that was my first symptom. All the letters are moving or have zig zags in them. Then the next time they are just fine. It’s then that I feel crazy like what is really my vision??


      I also get pictures taken of the back of my eye, sometimes with dye or without. I can tell the dr before he looks at the image, whether I have more fluid. I can tell when I’m at home by looking at a picture on the wall and if I have more fluid, the frame will be wavy if my eyes are “better” the frames are square. Does anyone else have this happen?


      Thanks,
