What are the causes of blurred vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you suddenly have blurred vision or flashes of light in front of your eyes, the first thing to do is to keep calm. In most cases, this situation has an easily explainable and harmless cause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Getting out of bed too quickly can lead to blurred vision. The most common cause is a brief drop in blood pressure. In technical language, this is called orthostatic hypotension. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A blurred vision in the morning can also be due to an unfavorable sleeping position. Especially in patients with a so-called floppy eye lid syndrome, it can happen that the eyelids are not completely closed and the cornea dries out overnight. This problem then causes the known symptoms and in some cases can be normalized by a change of position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Another cause may also be an insufficiently corrected visual defect. This refers to farsightedness<\/a> or nearsightedness<\/a> that you are not previously aware of. In unfamiliar environments, you suddenly notice blurred vision in one or both eyes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
However, if the problem of blurred vision or the feeling of pressure in the eye does not go away, another medical cause could also be underlying. The following examples may be the cause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- A clouding of the body’s own lens of the eye – this is the so-called “cataract”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Diseases of the optic nerve, whereby the impulse of vision is not passed on to the brain or is disturbed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Various changes to the retina in the back of the eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Do the above problems sound familiar to you? But you don’t want to go to the doctor yet or have to wait for your appointment? Then there are some health-promoting measures for your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- A balanced diet to provide the eyes with all the important nutrients<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Smoking impairs the circulation of the optic nerve and the retina and should therefore be avoided<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you tolerate certain foods, such as Not alcohol or coffee, these should be avoided<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use sunglasses with adequate UV protection, as UV radiation can cause permanent damage to the retina or the surface of the eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Regular ventilation is necessary, especially in dry heating air in winter. Nevertheless, draughts should be avoided as the eyes dry out easily. Dry eyes<\/a> are called Sicca syndrome<\/a> in the technical language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
