                        I had this same problem for a year before I was diagnose with hyperthroidism.  When my thyroid was blocked, my eyes improved greatly.  Ask your doctor to do a TSH and a T4 test.  One out of eight women over age 35 have a thyroid condition.  Men (e.g., George Bush) also can have under or over active thyoid conditions.
