If you’ve been having trouble seeing clearly, your eyesight might be blurry. Here are five reasons why this might be the case. If you’re experiencing any of these problems, be sure to visit Kunesh Eye Center in Dayton for a comprehensive eye exam. We will help with a diagnosis and treat the cause of your blurry vision.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
One possible cause of blurry vision is angle-closure glaucoma, which occurs when the iris (the colored part of your eye) blocks all or part of your pupil. This can lead to increased pressure in your eyes and a buildup of fluid on your optic nerve, both of which will result in impaired vision.
Cataracts
Cataracts are common with older adults. Your vision can become blurry with cataracts because of clouding over the lens of your eye. If you’re diagnosed with cataracts, you may be able to treat them with cataract surgery.
Corneal Abrasion
Another possible cause of blurry vision is a corneal abrasion, which happens when there’s an injury or scratch to your outermost layer of the eye. This can lead to pain, light sensitivity, and blurry vision.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a condition that can cause damage to your blood vessels, which can in turn leads to blurred vision. One common complication of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy. This condition means that the blood vessels in your retina get damaged.
Keratoconus
Keratoconus is another reason for blurry vision. It is a disorder in which your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) becomes thinner and starts to bulge outward in a cone shape. This can cause a distortion of your vision and make it difficult for you to see clearly.
