Yes: Did you see an ophthalmologist? You can treat dry eyes with over the counter artificial tears. If this is not adequate, then an evaluation is appropriate.

Bought new glasses with exact same prescription as last pair. Right eye has constant ache with new pair. Doc and optician can't figure out why.

New glasses eye exam. My prescription changed very small. Couple months later glare when I see lights at night hard to see when I see that. Today vision a little off. Could it have anything to do with glasses? Confused. Thank you?
