Question 1

will a sinus infection ruin your vision?

Accepted Answer

: Very highly unlikely. Sinus infections are common and do not affect the vision.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 2

diagnosed with a sinus infection.  stopped citalopram a little over month ago, since then have developed dim snowy vision?

Accepted Answer

Get eye exam: Citalopram is not known to cause dim vision. Ask your pcp for referral to an ophthalmologist without delay for exam and proper diagnosis. I hope this helps.

Question 3

can sinus infection or problem cause trouble with vision or make you feel 'foggy' ?

Accepted Answer

Definitely: Sinuses suround the eye socket.  Infection or allergic symptoms can translate to  tear film inconsistency resulting in visual blur.  Fogginess is secondary to sinus congestion which impeeds lymphatic flow.  Headaches can result.  Decrease or better yet refrain from smoke environments.  Humidifiers help.  Good luck!

Question 4

can a sinus infection cause blurry vision?

Accepted Answer

Possible extension: A true peri-orbital sinus infection (versus congestion or inflammation) may extend to the orbital region causing a peri-orbital cellulitis. Typically seen with maxillary sinus infections. I would recommend a visit to your provider to be sure it is not an extension of the infection versus secondary effects from the medication you are taking or other more benign side effects.

Question 5

can a sinus infection cause loss of vision?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Rarely you can have a serious sinus infection that affects the eye.  But this is uncommon.

Question 6

can a sinus infection or fluid in the ear cause snowy vision?

Accepted Answer

No: sinus infection should not cause any visual problems if it does you need to seek immediate medical attention

Question 7

yesterday i started having blurry and foggy vision from a sinus infection which is getting worse. a few days ago i noticed that i get confused and have headaches. i'll see my doctor tomorrow.  what do you think he will do to help me?

Accepted Answer

Severe Headache: It says in your medical information that you are pregnant. I would advise being seen today in the ER for these symptoms, and have a family member bring you right away or use an ambulance for safe transport not safe to drive with these symptoms.

Question 8

i had pink eye from a sinus infection about a month ago, and today i noticed my vision as blurry in that same eye, i have realized that it has been blurry since being sick, but thought it was just tired eyes, or because of allergies. now i realize my visi

Accepted Answer

Ophthalmologist: Evaluation ASAP please, kind of urgent, need to make sure your eye and eye muscles are fine before treating your sinuses

Question 9

i am pretty sure i have a sinus infection with double ear infection, but don't have a dr. appointment until tomorrow, what can i take now  to help?

Accepted Answer

Nasal rinse: Saline nasal rinse with neti pot, decongestant (pseudoephredrine) and an otc antiinflammatory may tide you over.  Your friendly pharmacist can help.  Hope this clears up quickly.

Question 10

i was diagnosed with a double ear and sinus infection. i have a 2 month old that has a cold. is it safe to be around him? i don't want himto get worse.

Accepted Answer

Contagiousness: Your 2 month old has all the immunity that you do until 6 months. He can get the same viral colds as you, but he is not at risk for the secondary infections that you have (ear infections, sinusitis). As with any cold in a child of this age, you have to be on the look out for developing an ear infection from his cold, but he won't get it from you.
