Damaged cornea The cornea is a thin layer that lies over major parts of the eye like the iris and pupil. It directly plays a role in receiving light, which is an essential part of the process of vision formation.
Less Serious Causes of Blurry Vision Lack of sleep Lack of sleep can lead to dry eyes, which can lead to blurry vision.
Wrong Glasses It’s possible that the power of your glasses has changed and you need an upgrade.
Temporary low blood sugar levels This can lead to fatigue and sleepiness, sometimes accompanied by blurred vision. Just eating a fast-acting source of sugar, such as a cookie, can help solve this problem. So, to sum it up, if you’re suffering from a blurry vision: Step 1: Try and assess if the cause may be something you can take care of it on your own such as getting restful sleep, wearing your glasses regularly, and getting your blood sugar levels up by eating something sugary. Step 2: If the issue persists, visit your local pharmacist and ask for eye drops. Step 3: If the issue still persists, visit an eye specialist doctor as it may be an indication of a more serious issue. And remember, if you’re ever in any doubt, seek professional help immediately because eye-related issues can be time sensitive and require immediate care.
