Question 1

what does it mean if you have blurry vision? is this a neurological condition?

Accepted Answer

Complicated answer: The answer to this question is complex and includes just about every conceivable diagnosis in the field of ophthalmology.  After all, blurred vision means impaired sight and can result from any condition ranging from neurological as in optic neuritis (often the presenting symptom in multiple sclerosis), to corneal problems (such as dry eye, corneal abrasions and corneal dystrophies such as keratoconus), to inflammatory problems of the eye (such as uveitis), to retinal diseases (including retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, macular edema and vascular occlusions), to name just a few.  The causes include many benign and many serious vision threatening as well as life threatening conditions depending on severity and suddenness of onset.  Perhaps the most common benign causes of blurred vision are myopia (near sightedness) and presbyopia (the inability to focus at near after age 40 and astigmatism.  All of these conditions may be distinguished by the clinician based on the patient’s age, medical history and presenting symptoms. In short, there is no way to simply answer this question and a good, thorough ophthalmologic examination should surely elucidate the cause.

Question 2

can helicobacter pylori cause neurological symptoms akin to fatigue blurry vision etc?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: H. py lori infection is cause of ulcer disease.  If your ulcers are severe, this in turn can cause fatigue.

Question 3

38 yo, healthy female.vision has been blurrier than usual,have eye dr appt.no headaches or neurological symptoms, but how likely is it my that blurry vision could be brain tumor?could this be only symptom or unlikely?no double vision, jhst blurry.

Accepted Answer

Extremely unlikely: An isolated symptom of blurred vision in both eyes in an otherwise healthy person is almost never caused by a brain tumor.

Question 4

does celiac disease cause blurry vision?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally: Celiac disease (crohns) has been associated with poor absorption of vitamin a (nightblindness) and some reports of retinal vessel blockage. It should be evaluate by an ophthalmogist.

Question 5

does sudden blurry vision mean that you will be blind later in life?

Accepted Answer

No: Sudden blur can result from migraine headaches, momentary low blood pressure, high blood pressure, or other causes. If such episodes recur they need prompt medical evaluation but do not necessarily represent risk of permanent vision loss.

Question 6

please explain what it means if i have blurry vision in one eye?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Is this of recent onset or has the vision been blurry in that eye for a long time?  Is there a history of eye disease?   Or trauma?  If there is no obvious cause, then check with your ophthalmologist to see if there is a diagnosis and treatment.

Question 7

having headaches with blurry vision & slight nausea. the pain felt like someone was squeezing my head. what could this mean? the blurriness went away

Accepted Answer

Could be...: You could be having a bad tension headache.  You could have a viral infection like a cold or a sinus infection.  If the headache is really the only symptoms and there are no nasal / throat / cough symptoms, then I would try some ibuprofen or excederin migraine and get some sleep.  If it worsens, see your doctor or an urgent care.

Question 8

what can cause sudden blurry vision in right eye? is it related to my history of graves disease?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Hi. Sudden eye/vision changes should be evaluated promptly by an ophthalmologist. Please do not delay. Vision is too precious to jeopardize.

Question 9

sudden blurry vision with waves in it and now worst head ache of my life. i have a clotting disorder. should i go to the er or wait it out.

Accepted Answer

Classic migraine: Your symptoms are that of a classic migraine headache.  But if you get any other neurological symptoms you should go to the er.  Generally, visual symptoms like you had lasting 20-30 minutes followed by a bad sick headache are migraine.

Question 10

i am 33 and have blurry vision, vertigo, chronic pain, controlled hypertension. brain mri shows nonspecific white matter changes. what could it mean?

Accepted Answer

Non specific finding: White matter changes could be a sign of multiple sclerosis, lupus, migraine headaches, small strokes, vasculitis, cerebritis, or a normal variant.  This type if change has to be evaluated based on the location in the brain and your clinical problems.  It is really best interpreted by your own physician.
