Question
About 6 months ago I developed blurry vision only in the left eye. It has not gotten worse, but not gotten any better. I have been to a neurologist, opthamologist, and endocrinologist and had an MRI. I have been tested for thyroid, diabetes, routine lab work, and have had the complete battery of eye exams, including some that they do not give people my age (25yo female). My vision in both eyes is normal, what it was before. It feels as if I can still see everything, it is just through a haze, like trying to look through plastic wrap. And I seem to have problems focusing on things. I would welcome any suggestions for tests, specialists, diet changes, anything. My doctors are looking at me like I am making it up.
Answer
Dear Erin,
You could be having blurred vision which is subjectively described but normal on the visual charts.
This is when one has stress related headaches etc.
The same will not probably need medication, but alternative therapies like eye exercise, meditation, visualizations etc may help.
Hope this helps,
Best,
