Every so often I get a very sore eye when waking up
Hi everyone. I'll cut straight to the point.
Type 1 Diabetic for 31 years and my bloods have had their ups and downs like a lot of people's.
Recently in the last few years about once every 2 months I will wake up and as soon as I do it feels like my left eyeball has been scratched with a knife, like someone has scrapped something across my eyeball. The pain lasts a good few hours and my eye stays blurry for a few days while it heals.
I've spoken to my optician and Ophthalmologist but they're not sure what it is.
All I can think of is that it is dry eye when waking up and I maybe rub my eye whilst I'm still half asleep?
A few more bits of info:
I hardly drink any water
My eyes haven't been great for years now
My diet is decent
I'm do manual labour 5 days a week so excercise is good
I mean, maybe I do know the answer but I've not met or spoken to anybody with a similar experience.
Any information would be much appreciated
Thank you
