been battling with pretty intense dry eyes for over 5 years now (confirmed via testing, think it was called a "Schrimers test")
my dry eyes subsequently causes vertical ghosting vision, for example, say im watching a movie at night and there is white text on a black background, ill actually see a faint double image of the text directly above the original line of text; I see this everywhere at night, whether im reading a book, watching a movie, car lights and stop lights while driving, etc..
through significant and arduous trial and error and self-experimentation, I unfortunately came to the realization that sugar was the cause of my dry eyes I've t
ested and retested this maybe 3-4 times; if I cut out all sugars, my dry eyes/vision problems improves by 90-95%, though I still eat copious amounts of carbs via starch (white potatoes, oats, white rice, sourdough bread). I notice I get 100% symptomatic relief if I eat a low-carb diet, but that is unacceptable for me and causes other issues like fatigue and being cold, etc.. the sugar intolerance is so severe that I had a couple sweet potatoes the other day and noticed I started having ghosting vision, its just outrageous and literally unbelievable..
I've been reading forums and what not and things like "diabetes" and "pre-diabetes" keeps coming up, yet ive been gotten general bloodwork from my naturopath and evertyhign came back fine, except for mildly low-blood sugar a couple times ?
any other reason why I would be so intolerant to sugars?
