Question 1

what are the possible causes of halo vision?

Accepted Answer

Numerous: Migraine or glaucoma come to mind for me.  Migraines are benign, but glaucoma can be serious and you can go blind.  I'd see an eye physician soon!

Question 2

what are causes of having cloudy vision and seeing halos?

Accepted Answer

Need a diagnosis: Cloudy vision and halos can generally be caused by anything that interferes with light entering the eye, including hazy glasses or contact lenses.  However, cataract is a common cause of this, and a less common cause is a scar of the cornea.  Corneal swelling (edema) typically causes a rainbow type of halo, and this can be more serious, as it can occur with greatly elevated eye pressure.

Question 7

how does anxiety cause occasional blurred vision, halos around lights, and eye strain?

Accepted Answer

Affects Eye Muscles: Anxiety raises the level of activation of the sympathetic nervous system (the "fight or flight" system). This prepares the person for anticipated danger. Vision needs to be very sensitive to light or movement, but the details don't matter as much when you are facing a tiger in the dark (for example). And fight or flight is not supposed to last, it is a strain over time.

Question 8

how does anxiety cause blurry vision sometimes, eye strain, and halos around lights at night? my eye doc said everything was fine.

Accepted Answer

Anxiety attacks: during anxiety attacks, most of patients have rapid breathing,leading to low Carbon dioxide (CO2) level in the blood ,causing blurred vision,numbness around lips and overall tingling feeling. usually patients are directed to breath in a bag,that helps alleviate such symptoms.
