Blurry vision is a disturbance in a person’s eyes that makes it hard for the eyes to see things in a sharp and crispy way. In many cases, it signifies an underlying eye problem that needs eye care by an optometrist to restore and preserve the vision.
We at Visionary Eye Care in Elizabeth City, NC, offer a range of different eye care services. Read on to learn about the causes and symptoms of blurry vision and how our optometrists can help.
What Causes Blurry Vision
Blurry vision can emanate from different eye conditions, including:
- Refractive errors like astigmatism, farsightedness (hyperopia), nearsightedness (myopia), and presbyopia
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Cataracts which cause clouding of the eyes
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Corneal abrasion
- Eye strain
- Migraine
- Stroke
- Eye injury/ trauma
- Dry eye syndrome
Symptoms of Blurry Eyes
Blurry vision is characterized by unclear vision. However, other symptoms may accompany it depending on the underlying problem.
For instance, if the blurry vision is due to diabetic retinopathy, you may experience other symptoms like floaters, eye pain, redness, poor night vision and gradually worsening vision.
On the other hand, blurry vision due to myopia may be accompanied by eye strain, headache and continuous squinting.
One or more causes can trigger blurry eyes and the number of symptoms will depend on the underlying problem(s). Get the help of our optometrist to diagnose and treat the problem to restore your vision.
