instruction: hello doctor would dry eyes cause cloudy vision with little nonmoving black dots this is my normal vision and every once in a while I can see perfectly the eye doctor said everything in the eye looks perfect I have noticed when I sleep one eyelid does not close all the way but this is the vision in both eyes I did have a vitrectomy in one eye and the other is still in need of cataract surgery
output: hi yes dry eyes can cause blurring of vision as you said you feel your one eye is not closed properly while sleeping so there is a greater chance of getting cornea dry and can lead to exposure keratopathy but you have not mentioned any history of stroke or bell palsy did you have any did your doctor notice that you are unable to close one eye properly your mi body mass index is also high so with obesity there is a condition related to floppy eyelid in which eyelids are more elastic and get averted while sleeping that can also cause dry eyes you said you had vitrectomy in one eye please explain why was that advised are you having diabetic retinopathy or you had a vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment or you had similar black spots in that eye too these black spots in vision may also be due to vitreous liquefaction and condensation which is age related problem jelly in the back of your eye starts becoming liquid after 50 years of age so you can use artificial tear drops or dry eye and the eye you feel does not close properly you can also patch your eye while sleeping with simple tape so that your cornea does not get dry out your eye doctor is doing a great job he has examined your eyes so he knows better and he will do the best you can discuss with him if anything missed like if you have not told him about incomplete closure of the eye during sleep
