Eye Vision Issues

I had something similar about a year or so ago. Turns out I had cataracts in both eyes. I had surgery to correct them and can now see crystal clear out of both eyes. I seldom even need reading glasses which I did before the cataracts developed.

Although it sounds scary, the surgery is pretty routine. They don't even put you out to perform it, just a local anaesthetic. About 15-20 minutes per eye.

Go to an eye specialist and get checked out for this. I blamed my glasses for too long and regret that. I don't regret having the surgery done though. Neither will you. You'll be amazed at how clear you can see afterwards.

Hi Mark,

Not sure how much of my story can help you but it's worth reading.
I started wearing glasses when I was in high school. I can't remember what the initial problem was.
Since then I have had a cataract removed and glaucoma surgery (all in the left eye which I call my bad eye).
In 2005 after the glaucoma surgery my sight did not come back. I am now 90% blind in one eye. I see colours and some movement but that is all.

My eye specialist said he believed I had diabetes and to talk to my doctor about seeing an endocrinologist, which I did, and yes, I was officially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

I now wear 2 different pairs of glasses. One is for distance and watching TV and the other is for computer work and some stuff close up.

I think this is perhaps helpful to you.
Since the glaucoma surgery, my sight varies a lot.
I watch tv and all is well, then suddenly even the writing is blurry.

I should note that in my right eye (the good one), my eye guy said I have a slow growing cataract but it wouldn't need anything for at least 10 years.

This may be a weird question but it's genuine.
Do you ever have massages, whether for relaxation or remedial?
If so, is your face shoved into the hole in the table?
Your face may not be sitting right and you can impinge on a nerve, causing blurry vision, even partial paralysis (temporary). There's a name for it but I forget what it is right now. This nerve issue can last for hours and the first time it happened to me I was scared witless.

If you're still worried about your site, I strongly recommend seeing an ophthalmologist because he knows a lot more than an optometrist. You may indeed have cataracts as they can hit quickly. However, they're easily fixed.

Feel free to ask if you have questions and sorry for the long reply but I hope it has helped a little.

My distant vision has become blurrier over the years, and after some online research, found some information that was a concern.

Or not to go into details, most people need to increase their glasses, strength yearly, or spend quite a lot.

Also other information like the Eskimos up til recently had perfect vision all of their lives, but that was due to little education or reading, writing etc.

So l found something online called Pin Hole Glasses, it was developed more than 100 years ago, (you can google it) and basically means that if you squint or look through a tini opening, then your vision improves.

Box cameras use the same trick, and do not require a lenze as a result.


I bought my pair months ago, on Ebay, and so far, my eye muscles have strengthened, watching tv, has no more blurry screen, and distant objects also perfect with them on.


As for the claim that my vision will improve by using them for 15 minutes daily, the court is still out. I do a lot of graphics on my laptop, so probably require more than 15 minutes a day. Although l do use them when watching a movie on tv.


But you cannot use them when driving, too dangerous.


Glasses do improve your vision, but improving your eye health, not so sure.


Pinhole glasses may help, so it is worth considering. You can get them for a couple of dollars, but l spent $15, and sunglasses, types are available.

Good luck.

Just trust your Doctor. Ask him/her on what you think she/he might help.

Optometrist - or ophthalmologist?

I did the same a couple years ago - my sight was getting 'wonky' on occasion. Some days it was normal - other days blurred or double vision - best description is my eyes don't seem to be 'focusing together' sometimes.
PITA!

Sent to an ophthalmologist by my primary care doctor - found I had 'rapidly developing' cataracts. First surgery is in 2 weeks and then 3 weeks later he'll put a new lens in the second eye. The medical advances on cataracts is astounding - 15 minute surgery (if that) 3 days of taking it easy - then back to normal.

Looking forward to getting the procedure done - my doctor said my vision will be back to 'perfect' and that sounds great to me.

I think these are the symptoms of the Possible Eye Problem or Disease blepharospasm, contact lens problem, dry eye syndrome, foreign body, hemifacial spasm, stroke.
