Blurry vision can cause a variety of symptoms in one or both of your eyes. For some patients, their entire line of sight can be affected, while others may only have partial areas of vision that are blurry.
In addition to having blurred vision, you might feel as though your vision is dim or cloudy.
Blurry vision is a common symptom of vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Additional causes of blurry vision might include:
Other health conditions can cause blurry vision as well, such as migraines, stroke, or fluctuations in blood sugar due to diabetes.
First, Dr. Amin or Dr. Hardy will perform a comprehensive eye exam. During your appointment, they will discuss your symptoms, review any medications you may be taking, and talk about your overall health and work environment. They’ll also look at any vision issues you may have had in the past and any that may be in your family history.
To evaluate your eye function, Dr. Amin or Dr. Hardy will conduct tests to measure your eye muscle capabilities, peripheral and color vision, responsiveness to light, and depth perception. They’ll also look to see if your eyes are correctly focusing and working together.
They’ll also check your overall eye health. During this portion of your appointment, Dr. Amin or Dr. Hardy will visually examine your eyes, eyelids, and inside of your eyes using magnification and a bright light. They might also perform tonometry testing to examine the pressure in your eyes.
Based on these tests, your doctor can determine the best strategy for correcting your blurred vision.
Dr. Amin or Dr. Hardy will provide a treatment plan to correct your blurry vision based on the cause of your condition. These approaches might include:\
