The onset of fibromyalgia is often accompanied by problems with eye sight as fibromyalgia affects the nervous system and brings on symptoms such as sensitivity to light and discomfort when wearing contacts lenses. As those with fibromyalgia are sensitive to light, driving at night is not recommended as the lights of the on-coming vehicles can cause issues. Sicca syndrome can often arise in those with fibromyalgia and this can cause irritation and dryness of the eyes.
