I've been researching, and I have a question: if you get the kind of unfixable blurred vision from optic nerve damage or burst blood vessels within eyes, can it makes you more near sighted or will it make your vision blurier in general, close or far? I was diagnosed a month or two ago with 20/40 vision in my left eye and 20/80 in my right. If I put my hands right in front of my fave or look at the keyboard I type on, its clear. If I look at something farther away, its very blurry in my right eye.
A month ago I started on adderall and developed a minor eye infection of some sort that gave me eye boogers all day and made me constantly blink. I still blink a lot and HARD as a compulsion. I'm not sure if my vision is damaged from popped blood vessels from blinking hard or if its in my head. Can that make you more near-sighted?
Also, my blood pressure is still low despite the medicine but I don't know about my eye-pressure.
And yes, I'm making an appointment to see an ophthalmologist instead of just a glasses doctor. Thank you so much if you can answer.

I'm sorry, I honestly did not mean for this to be posted three times, I think I just pressed submit to much or something! I'll blame my internet for being slow! Deepest apologies but I don't want to delete two now becuase then someone will click on two and it will say the question is gone.

Yes, if near acuity is better than distance acuity, this would be an indication of short-sight rather than nerve damage or some other non-refractive problem.
There's another good quick guide: Does the *distance* vision improve looking through a small pinhole (approx 1mm) held close to the eye? If it does the problem is basically refractive. If it doesn't, the problem lies elsewhere: nerve damage, haemorrhage, cataract, amblyopia...
The rest requires someone having access to your eyeballs!

You did not break a blood vessel from blinking too hard and there is NO relationship between blood pressure and eye pressure.
If you have swelling in the back of your eye, your retina is changes your vision as the swelling increases and decreases. Your Dr should not give you glasses until the swelling has resolved

What is your uncorrected vision?
What is your corrected vision?
Is your vision clear for near objects?
Did the doctor prescribe lenses for your problem?
How is your vision with the lenses on?
Whatever you problem, these questions must be answered.
What is your problem exactly?

It sounds like myopia. If these problems could be solved on line we wouldn't need hospitals, would we?
