Agreed. It’s likely OP’s self diagnosis is wrong as well, since there’s no reason looking at a monitor should lead to eyesight deterioration. I would throw out as a general caveat to be mindful of one’s screen brightness. But this sounds like way past “time to see a real doctor” time.

Optometrists and opthalmologists have different training. I always assumed the MD was better, but for my condition optometrists were more help. See both. Get a second and third opinion. It’s important!

I second this. I have Keratoconus and was going crazy for a year due to extreme vision problems about a decade ago until I was properly diagnosed and treated.
