What Causes Blurry Vision?
Blurry vision is usually a symptom of an underlying vision disorder. Although your blurry vision might be able to resolve on its own, it's best to not ignore blurry vision symptoms.
Some common causes of blurry vision include:
- Refractive vision errors, such as astigmatism (a misshapen lens of the eye), myopia, which is also known as nearsightedness, hyperopia, which is also known as farsightedness, and degenerative disorders of the eye
- Glaucoma, an eye disease that occurs due to the damage of the optic nerve
- Computer vision syndrome, caused by looking at a computer or other screen for long periods of time
- Dry eyes, which can become irritated and be accompanied by eye pain
How Our Optometrist Can Help
Our optometrist will conduct an eye exam and vision exam to determine if your blurry vision is caused by a simple vision disorder, such as astigmatism. We will dilate your eyes and take a deep look at its structure to rule out other eye diseases, such as glaucoma.
Once the root cause of your blurry vision is found, we can help provide treatment to correct your vision. This can include prescribing eye glasses or contact lenses to restore your vision. We may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as using eye drops for dry eyes or changing your computer usage habits.
For more serious eye diseases, such as glaucoma, our optometrist will prescribe the best treatment plan, including surgery or medications, to restore your vision or prevent vision loss.
