Blurry Vision

[itself]

Hi all,

I cannot figure this out. A couple of times a week, my vision gets super blurry. Might occur for a couple of hours then it goes away. I keep thinking as I am menopausal, that it might be hormonal. Any insights?

See a doctor. First thing in the morning. My experience is that it's easier to get an emergency appointment with your optometrist, and they can make the appropriate emergency referrals to physicians.

But it certainly does not feel urgent because it is intermittent. My partner seems far more concerned than I. I know that I am out of the age group for MS, and data does show that this disease occurs far more frequently in less sunny climates (thank goodness I am in AZ).

I see about an eye doctor, I suppose a good place to start.

+1 on seeing an eye doctor. When was the last time you had a physical with a full blood workup? Blurred vision is a symptom of a number of things, including hypertension and high blood sugar. You might want to see your GP, too.

Go to the eye doctor ASAP. Vision is not something to mess around with. If you lose it, it will suck. If not for you, go for your partner. He/she will have to deal with loss of vision as much as you will, if it comes to that. Don't be stupid. Go to the doctor. Plain and simple.

Tulip - how do you really feel?

++1 on the eye doctor. Not an optometrist but an ophthalmologist who has training in eye diseases. I have a good friend who is slowly going blind and it isn't fun. Not to be an alarmist - but really - get thee to a doctor.
