Answer 1

You should probably have a vision exam. I think the kind of blurriness you are describing is not a typical thing. My eye doctor told me that an uncorrected astigmatism (as in -not wearing corrective lenses) would be likely to cause blurred vision, but not so extreme as you describe.

Were you ever diagnosed with migraine headaches? They are sometimes accompanied by visual "auras" that can take different forms. They are usually, BUT NOT ALWAYS, followed by headaches.

My best suggestion for you is to see an eye doctor and discuss your concerns. Good luck.

Answer 2

Astigmatism might reason eye tension and problems and have different effects at different distances. the difficulty is that for somebody, how will you reliably attempt that the eyes could or does no longer have replaced over the years - I advise "Oh, I have been given glasses and my eyes have been given worse over the two an prolonged time I wore them. I had to consistently purchase new glasses. I could by no skill are turning out to be glasses." assumes that they does no longer have replaced with age without the glasses. Glasses do no longer regularly impression the eyes (some types are used for preparation eyes) and in case you will prefer them on your face, they might as properly adventure what you prefer.
