Vision changes

About 10 weeks ago, I developed a bacterial infection.  It started in my left eye, spread to my right eye, then hit my sinuses, throat, and lungs.  I was on 4 different eye drops, had antibiotics (oral and 2 shots), steroids, and saw 3 different doctors.  It finally cleared up but the vision in my left eye is now changed.  It is blurry and I see a halo around lights at night.  The opthamologist said my eyes were dry and advised me to use dry eye drops.  I had just gotten new glasses and contacts a couple months before and now I can't wear my contacts and can't see that well with my glasses. Has anybody else had these symptoms because of dry eyes?  I have no health insurance and lost my job so I can't see a doctor but I'm really worried.

You really need to see an ophthalmologist. This is unusual.
