Why Is Your Vision Blurred?

You can not see objects well, you can hardly distinguish between people (especially their faces), you have difficulty reading, or you feel that the letters are moving around on the computer screen or on the pages of a book, then it might be a good time to see a specialist. In this article you will discover some facts about blurred vision, why it occurs and how it is treated.

Causes of blurred vision

This list will help you determine what is the cause of your blurred vision and what the most common symptoms are.

The first cause is a disorder that shortens your near vision and the second worsens how far you can see. In addition to blurred vision, the entire visual field is also disturbed.

Cataracts

These are more common in people over the age of 60 and sometimes, they are asymptomatic. In other cases, they cause blurred vision, photosensitivity, halo of light, double vision and progressive blurring of vision.

Diabetes

One of many symptoms of imbalance in blood sugar levels can be blurred vision. You should be aware if you suffer from this disease as lack of custody will result in far more serious vision problems, including blindness.

Graves’ disease

Weight loss and increased appetite, increased heart rate, high blood pressure, tremors and blurred vision are the most well known symptoms of this affecting the thyroid gland.

This neurodegenerative disorder is often accompanied by several vision problems, including blurred vision. It can also lead to problems with bladder control, changes in sensitivity, etc.

When blood sugar levels drop rapidly, this can cause not only blurred vision but also other types of visual disturbances, confusion, double vision, seizures, loss of concentration, anxiety, palpitations and tremors.

Migraines

When the head experiences too much pain due to a muscle or neurological problem, blurred vision is the most common symptom. Other signs include nausea, light hypersensitivity, pain in the eyes and vomiting. Migraines can have the same symptoms.

High blood pressure and glaucoma

If we have hypertension or eye pressure (glaucoma), we may have trouble seeing well. In addition, both disorders generate additional problems such as fainting, total or partial loss of vision,

How to avoid blurred vision

If you have often experienced any of these symptoms, then it is very important that you go to your doctor right away. If you have only experienced the symptoms sporadically, pay attention to the following advice:

Reduce stress

This will help you lower your blood pressure and nervousness. Therefore, you will be more calm and you will see better. Hypertension is one of the worst enemies of your eyes as it weighs them down. If you have ocular tension, it is also good that you de-stress. Work on reducing your anger and anxiety so that these do not cause you further problems.

Relax your eyes

If you have been working in front of a computer screen for a long time, then your eyes may get tired and this may cause blurred vision. Sit down and close your eyes for a minute. Another option is to stand up, place your index finger in front of your face, and zoom in and out slowly while keeping your eyes focused on your finger. Subsequently, do the same by moving your finger to the right and then to the left, as if it were a pendulum. You should only move your eyes to follow it, not your head.

Focus and stop focusing

Select an object and stare at it, focus on it. Subsequently, try to stop focusing on the object and instead see what is around it. One of the reasons our vision becomes blurred is that we are not used to focusing on one thing specifically, due to the hundreds of stimuli we receive daily.

Keep track of your diet

You already know for sure that water in your stomach is the best ally for keeping your body hydrated, including your eyes. It can also help eliminate the waste products that have built up in your body and which can damage the liver, the organ that is directly related to the eyes. If your vision is blurred or blurred, try following a low-fat diet and avoid deep-fried foods. Drink Boldo tea daily and eat a cleansing diet consisting of steamed or partially cooked vegetables (above all, broccoli, spinach and chard) with whole grain rice. Do not eat fat, meat, or dairy products.

At the same time, you should increase your intake of vitamins A and C. You can find these in citrus fruits, carrots, papaya and broccoli.

Maintain healthy habits

• Increase the size of the letters on your PC screen so you do not have to move the screen closer to your eyes
• Do not read when there is not enough light (natural light is better than artificial light)
• Keep a distance of at least one meter (three feet) from your TV screen
• Wear sunglasses when there is a break at work or when you get home.

It is also a good idea to spend time in the countryside or other natural environments, such as the beach. This way you can work at the full range of your eyes. Like a panoramic photograph, the eyes need a break from seeing so many things at once, especially all the colors, neon lights and other bright light sources.
