Eye issues when in detox?
Did anyone have eye issues in detox? My eyes aren't yellow, but they are red and dry and my vision isn't blurry, more like hazy when you're eyes are dry? I've had it after a night of drinking many times and used the same old foolish routine of eye drops. I used them again and my eyes are feeling better.
Just didn't know when I can expect this cloudiness to ease up. It starts usually in the afternoon.

Dehydration was a real issue for me when I got Sober, and the itchy dry eyes I was very familiar with.
I would though always air on the side of caution, if anything seems out of the ordinary check in with a doctor or optician, just to be safe.
As my Sobreity progressed my blood pressure dropped to a healthy range, but it continued to drop even further, and so I now don't take anything of concern when it comes to health lightly.
Keep pushing through, you're doing fantastic!!

This has happened to me almost every time I've relapsed and detoxed. And it gets slightly worse every time. This last time, the red, itchy eyes and blurry vision took about five days to fully clear up. Like others said, stay well hydrated.
