I just went to the optomatrist and got a prescription for glasses a couple of weeks ago. My eyes are still blurry. I can't look at something for very long without everything going fuzzy even when i'm wearing glasses. Does anyone know what could be wrong with me?

My mom always goes through this same visit to the optomatrist. She gets new glasses and can't see out of them because they didn't get the correct prescription. It can take a couple of weeks for your eyes to adjust to the new prescription strength or glasses, but if it is still blurry go into the eye doctor and tell him you need something adjusted. Don't worry, they are used to this problem, and most will correct the prescription for free or a small fee.

well, first of all, it may be as simple as you need to clean your glasses! you'd be surprised at how many people just need to give their glasses a good wipe! if that isn't the case for you, then you should go back to the doctor! it may be that your eyes are just tired (there are relaxing eye drops for that which cause your eyes to go blurry for a bit at things close up), or you might be something as serious as a cataract (but dont worry, thats probably not the case!
* ask your doctor about eye drops that relax your eyes and give them a break from all that tedious focusing :) . also ask about vitamins to help improve your eyesight (they are sometimes made with blueberry extract. blueberries and carrots help your eyes! eat them!)
* sit for a while and just do this exercise: cup your hands over your eyes, then let go. do this for as long as you want. the longer the better! (you ca still blink!)
* draw or glue a bright dot to the window at eye-level. focus on the dot for a minute, then on an object in the distance (far away out the window) for a minute. do this for ten miniutes. or, for a shorter, simplified version, whenever you are whaiting for something or have a bit of free time, just focus on your arm for a bit, then on something far away. it should help to improve your vision if you do this consistently!

no, i am not crazy, i just dont believe that glasses, contacts, and laser eye surgery are the only the only solutions to imperfect vision! Good Luck, and hope your eys get better!

To answer you honestly , from what you are describing to me it very well could be. Call your Doctor or call an on call triage nurse at a hospital that answers your questions with all your symptoms. You should go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital and be seen there instead of waiting for the doctor to call you back. I hope you don't have pre eclampsia again . Good luck and I hope things get better.

DIABETES--DEFINITION
Diabetes mellitus is impaired insulin secretion by the pancreas and variable degrees of peripheral insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyphagia (excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids by mouth), and polyuria (excessive urination). Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose (blood sugar). Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.
Hyperglycemia is high blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision
Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Sweating and palpitations (I liken the sweating to water coming out of a sieve!)
Pale skin
Hunger - to the extreme
Trembling
Irritability
Anxiety/aggression
Poor concentration
Feelings of faintness/dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Death
Normal blood glucose ranges from 70-110. Anything below 70...hypo..anything above 110..hyper.
In the US, about 90% of diabetics are type II and 10% are type I.

As a fellow glasses-wearer, your eyes may not be well adjusted to the prescription...your eyes may be progressively getting worse so you may want to visit the ophthalmologist again to determine why your vision has changed so dramatically...good luck!

my friend had the same problem she had all the test, like the glocouse and stuff, come to find out she's diabetic, and her doc said blurry vision is one symptom for diabetes... but I"m not saying you have it, but you may wanna run tests for it if you havent.
