What’s Causing My Blurred Vision?

What are the symptoms of blurred vision?

 Blurred vision can affect your entire line of sight or just parts of your vision. This could include your peripheral vision, or how you see to the right or left of your field of vision. You can also experience blurred vision in only one eye.

Other ways to describe blurred vision include clouded or dim vision.

What are the causes of blurred vision?

There can be many causes of blurred vision. Examples of common causes are:
  • refractive errors, such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness, or astigmatism
  • abrasions to the cornea
  • age-related macular degeneration
  • cataracts
  • corneal opacification, or scarring
  • infectious retinitis
  • migraine
  • optic neuritis
  • retinopathy, such as diabetic retinopathy
  • stroke
  • trauma or injury to the eyes
People with diabetes can also experience blurred vision if their blood sugar levels fluctuate significantly.

How is blurred vision diagnosed?

Your doctor will diagnose the cause of your blurred vision by first taking an inventory of your symptoms. Examples of questions they may ask include:

When did you first start noticing the blurred vision?
What makes the blurred vision worse or better?

They may also ask about your personal medical history as well as a family history of eye conditions.

Eye tests

Your doctor may next want to perform a physical examination of your eyes. They may test your vision by asking you to read an eye chart. They might also perform other eye tests, such as:

ophthalmoscopy
refraction test
slit lamp examination
tonometry, which measures intraocular pressure

Blood tests

Your doctor might also perform blood testing. Blood tests may be used to help them determine whether bacteria are in the blood. They can also use tests to obtain your white blood cell count (WBC) if they suspect there could be an infection.

How is blurred vision prevented?

While it’s not always possible to prevent some causes of blurred vision, taking steps to care for your eyes can help prevent lifestyle-related causes.

Here are some tips for healthy vision:
  • Always wear sunglasses that provide broad-spectrum protection when you’re going out in the sun.
  • Eat a diet rich in eye-healthy nutrients. The antioxidant lutein can be found in dark, leafy green such as spinach and kale. Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids include albacore tuna, trout, and halibut. Get vitamin A from sources such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and liver.
  • Don’t smoke.
  • Undergo regular comprehensive eye exams, especially if someone in your family has a history of an eye disease.
  • Wash your hands before putting on or taking out contact lenses to reduce infection risk.
  • Wear protective eyewear when operating heavy machinery or engaging in activities such as painting and home repairs.

WHAT IS LASIK? Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis(LASIK), is a surgical procedure which is used for correction of vision in people suffering from refractive defects such as Myopia(Near-sightedness), Hypermetropia(Far-sightedness), and Astigmatism(Corneal Defect). LASIK surgery provides reduction in the power or even freedom from spectacles to the patients and is of great aid in gaining self-confidence as well. LASIK is now one of the most common surgical procedures around the world and is widely used for correction of refractive disorders.

Cataract Symptoms

Image
Having cataracts is often compared to looking through a foggy windshield of a car or through the dirty lens of a camera. Cataracts may cause a variety of complaints and visual changes, including blurred vision, difficulty with glare (often with bright sun or automobile headlights while driving at night), dulled color vision, increased nearsightedness accompanied by frequent changes in eyeglass prescription, and occasionally double vision in one eye. Some people notice a phenomenon called "second sight" in which one's reading vision improves as a result of their increased nearsightedness from swelling of the cataract. A change in glasses may help initially once vision begins to change from cataracts; however, as cataracts continue to progress and opacify, vision becomes cloudy and stronger glasses or contact lenses will no longer improve sight. Cataracts are usually gradual and usually not painful or associated with any eye redness or other symptoms unless they becom...
