Bad eyesight -> dry eyes?

Hello

I'm 25 and i feel like my eye sight has worsened significantly in this past 2 year. I've visited 2 different ophthalmologist, and both of them said that my sight is fine, my eyes are fine, and that the problems are just my eyes eyes being dry. As i works as a Software engineer, this is pretty plausible. I've been prescribed Lacrycon Lacrycon.

When i use these drops, my sight slightly improves.... for 2-3 minutes. And then just goes back to being "bad".

Now for my actual issue:

I just can't seem to focus properly anymore. I can sit on my couch, which has always been at the same position and at the same distance from my tv. I can literally not read the text on screen anymore, without squinching (is that a word?) my eyes. And even then, its barely readable. Additionally, i have started seeing more eye floaters on my left eye, which i guess is normal with ages.

The couch -> Tv is just used because its easy to describe. I'm noticing this issue on many different occasions.

I'm not saying the ophthalmologist diagnosis is wrong, but the eye drops they gave me clearly are not working. To be fair, i haven't called either of them to say this, so i will surely do so next week. But for now, it would be interesting to see if other people here have similar issues.

Thanks
