INCONSISTENT BLURRY VISION: WHAT DOES IT
There are many factors that can cause sudden or temporary changes in vision. It can be caused by something easily solved like dehydration, but it can also be the sign of a more serious underlying problem. If blurry vision is intermittent, it can be the result of something else in your body that’s inconsistent as well: hydration, sleep, blood pressure, hormones, and blood sugar are all factors that can fluctuate and affect vision. Unstable blood sugar can cause acute vision changes, even in non-diabetics. When your blood sugar spikes, it causes the eye’s lens to expand and can distort distance vision. Keeping things like blood sugar, blood pressure, sleep, and hydration consistent will help keep your
vision consistent too.
Many times, blurred vision slowly develops over weeks, months or even years. But it can also show up suddenly and without warning. Blurriness can affect both eyes or just one, and it can make objects look unfocused at different distances. If you need eye care or an eye exam, please call 201-896-0007.

P.S. Vision changes like double vision or vision loss that come on suddenly and are accompanied by pain should be considered emergencies and may indicate an eye condition or disease.
