The main one of significance is the connection between weight gain and diabetes or pre-diabetes, when you can have an in crease in blood glucose levels which can cause a shift toward higher myopia or less hyperopia.

And when I bend over to dry my toes, water runs out of my belly button.

I have quite often noted that eyewear, contact lenses excluded, often fit very differently after both marked weight gain or loss?

Weight gain will cause the eyeglasses to fit tighter, and weight loss creates a lowering of segs and frame looseness. Medical issues, producing weight gain or loss....... where some medications are involved will affect visual comfort or qualities. Usually MDs will request/require people to have eye exams while on some medications.
