Blurred vision is one of the most neglected problems that can have many underlying causes. Although it is a neglected condition, depending on the underlying causes, blurred vision may also indicate important diseases. Regardless of blurred vision in one eye or blurred vision in both eyes, the underlying causes should be examined and treatment should be sought in ongoing cases. We also know that there are many details about the problem. So let’s quickly start explaining the curious details.
What is blurred vision and what are its causes?
Blurred vision is a condition of image distortion that prevents vision in one or both eyes. It may occur due to a sudden health problem or there may be more serious underlying problems. It is important to get to the bottom of the causes, especially in complaints of blurred vision that persist for a long time. Let’s list the main causes just below.
Age Related Vision Problems: Due to age-related diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts, blurred vision may be experienced. In this case, most of the time the problem is not temporary. Especially if there is a cataract, we can also see that blurred vision increases over time. A detailed examination and appropriate treatment should be applied.
Dry Eye: We cannot say that it directly causes blurred vision. But the fact is that dry eye disease can cause deterioration in vision with dryness, redness and burning and stinging sensation on the eye. If left untreated, we can see that these complaints increase.
Glaucoma: Glaucoma, which is also considered as eye pressure, is also a cause of sudden blurred vision problems. With the restoration of blood pressure in the eye, vision is expected to improve gradually.
Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetes can cause damage to the eye and blood vessels. Due to these damages, hemorrhages or edema may occur in the retina. The resulting edema or hemorrhages can cause impaired vision and blurred vision. Regular check-ups are important here, as well as regular use of diabetes medications prescribed by the doctor.
Eye Tumors: Although it is rare, blurred vision may also occur in intraocular tumors. It is among the reasons encountered, especially in complaints of blurred vision in one eye.
Damage to the Optic Nerve: Damage to the optic nerve, also known as the visual nerve, can also be one of the main causes of blurred vision. The problem can occur in one eye or both eyes.
Physical Impact on the Eye: An external impact on the cornea (impact, scratching or similar injuries) can also cause blurred vision.
How Does Blurred Vision Pass? What is the Treatment?
It is not possible to give a clear answer to the question of how blurred vision passes. As we mentioned above, a detailed examination should be performed first and the cause should be determined. Let’s say you have cataract development and you are faced with blurred vision due to this.
Your vision will not improve without a cataract operation. It may even progress without treatment.
The same is true for other causes. First, a detailed examination, all measurements are made and then the cause is determined and treatment is applied.
