Ask your eye doctor to check for cataracts. Do not accept "we don't see anything"; chase them for an answer to your problem.
The "Posterior Subcapsular" type of cataract is apparently apt to form relatively quickly and be difficult to see; my wife went through 2 years of fruitless exams and glasses before figuring out the problem. Now she has her eyes back; thankfully.

An optometrist is generally fine for fitting glasses, but an ophthalmologist will provide a much more thorough eye exam (as well as updated RXes). (Exception: If someone's vision is 20/20 uncorrected and they don't have any other eye concerns, this probably isn't needed… until they hit the all-but-inevitable presbyopia, likely around age 40-45.)
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoNot just cataracts. Have them check for macular degeneration, too, which if I understand correctly can also make your vision dark. (For that matter, have them check for glaucoma while you're in there.) But I have a question. Is it just the monitor? Or do you notice the same thing with daylight? Room lights?
