Blurry vision has many possible causes, with some of the most common including refractive errors, like:
But, refractive errors aren't the only reason for blurry vision. You could have a serious eye condition like keratoconus, in which the center portion of your cornea thins until it's weak enough to bulge into a cone shape. Keratoconus can cause severely blurry vision, as can other serious eye conditions including age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma, among others.
In some cases, blurry vision is a symptom of a systemic condition like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Your University Ophthalmology doctor discusses your symptoms with you and performs a comprehensive eye exam to discover the reason for your blurry vision. Typical tests include:
Depending on your symptoms and test results, your ophthalmologist may also perform other advanced tests to definitively determine the cause of blurry vision.
Blurry vision treatment varies by the underlying condition. In many cases, particularly with refractive errors like myopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism, an updated vision prescription can help you see clearly again.
If you suffer from an underlying condition like severe dry eyes, your specialist treats that condition first, and the blurry eyes typically resolve afterwards. For eye conditions like keratoconus, your University Ophthalmology specialist can discuss your symptoms and diagnose the condition during a consultation. Then, they refer you to a trusted specialist for treatment.
If you need specialist eye care at any time, your University Ophthalmology doctor coordinates care with the specialist to make sure you get full resolution for your blurry vision and all other vision and eye health issues.
