Accepted Answer

Sudden : Sudden onset of visual disturbance in one eye is a concerning problem that could indicate a number of serious problems involving the eye itself (including retinal artery occlusion, retinal vein occlusion, retinal detachment, and other problems) and problems involving the optic nerve (including ischemia or stroke in the nerve, or optic neuritis).  These are serious problems that need to be checked as soon as possible to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss.  If needed, go to the nearest emergency room.

Accepted Answer

Acute Eye Ear Neck: Blurry vision is an issue especially if you have not experienced this before &amp; IF it is STILL continuing as you read this.  Please have the source of the blurred vision PHYSICALLY checked out. tonight.
