Blurry Vision Information

Blurry Vision is one of the main cues that you may have an eye disease.

Sometimes there is only blurred vision in one eye and sometimes it is in both, but either way when you notice it happening you must have your eyes checked as soon as possible by an Eye Care Specialist or Eye Care Professional.

Officially, the definition of blurred vision is the inability to perceive sharpness in an image. Sometimes, people with blurry vision are unable to see details, whether up close or from a distance, and some cases involve scotomas, which are small blind spots in the middle of the field of vision. When these occur you can't see anything in the spot that is affected by scotoma.

There can be a lot of different causes for blurry vision, and not all of them necessarily represent some sort of eye disease. Blurriness naturally occurs as a byproduct of aging, and sometimes diabetes, which targets different organs, can have a very profound effect on eyesight, causing blurry spots, halos of light around objects, and randomized blind spots.

No matter what causes the change in vision, you should never ignore it. The eyes are extremely sensitive organs and are sometimes the first indication of something else in the body not functioning correctly.

When you see a doctor, you should try to get an appointment with an opthalmologist. Opthalmologists specialize in the detection and treatment of Eye Diseases, and will be able to perform ocular surgery or even just prescribe glasses if that is what you need. Alternatively, you could see an optometrist, although they aren't quite as specialized.

Here are several types of vision changes that may affect you at some time in your life. If you experience any of these, you should try to see a professional as soon as you can.

• Glaucoma – this is caused by unusual pressure inside the eye. Some people experience a slow onset of glaucoma, while other people are struck by it suddenly. Sometimes someone with glaucoma will lose their vision completely in one of their eyes.
• Floaters – These are tiny specs that seem to float in front of the eye. Many people have them, and they're harmless, but can sometimes signal the beginning stages of retinal detachment.
• Macular Degeneration – This is the most common cause of blurry vision and routinely affects people who are older than 60 years old. It tends to occur over a period of years, but if you suddenly experience a loss in your central vision or a blurriness over everything you see you should set up an appointment with your eye doctor immediately.
• Migraines – People have recorded seeing halos around objects, flashing lights, and other visual distortions before the onset of a migraine headache. In this case, you should speak with a general practitioner who may be able to pinpoint the cause of the migraines, which is usually unrelated to the eyes.

Most people tend to rely on their eyesight more so than any other sense, and as such it can be frightening when something isn't quite normal. It's always best to see your eye doctor if you notice anything unusual with your vision.

Remember nothing beats a healthy diet with the right balance of Vitamins and Minerals when it comes to preventing an Eyesight Problem.
