foggy vision

I'm a 26 year old female.
I have had perfect vision my whole life. But lately my vision seems clouded or foggy. I can see just fine but it seems foggy. My thinking process feels the same way. Just typing this seems different. I know where all the letter buttons are, but I keep messing up and needing to back type to fix things. Like I type a letter that I think is right and it isn't, sometimes its even on the wrong side of the keyboard. The eye sight is starting to make me nervous when I drive, like I said I can see just fine, but its foggy.
So any ideas on what causes these symptons?
I also have other problems too, don't know if they are in conjunction with eachother. I have been gaining weight for no reasons. I don't eat more, I only eat two meals a day (not a lunch eater.) I go walking with my kids frequently. I also feel very tired and weak lately. Just bathing my kids kills me, from being tired and also my back has been hurting. I also have been having headaches alot. I have had migraines my whole life (family curse) but these headaches are different. They are more in the back of my head and sometimes they feel more deep inside.
I know alot of this has nothing to do with eye problems, but like I said, I don't know if they are in conjuction.

Get checked for parasites, especially if you've been to a tropical region in the last few years.  Not common in the US, so most doctors have no experience with it, but find a good diagnostician and see him/her.

I am a 41 year old female. For three years I have seen several doctors here in Dalton, GA for eye problems. I have been treated for eye infections all the way to cancer cells on my eyes. I have had two cornea scrapings in the last five months on my right eye. I also have plugs in both eyes and have also had to be on chemotherapy drops in my eyes. They still do not know for sure what the problem is OR how to fix it. My vision gets VERY VERY cloudy like I am in the middle of a forest fire or something. It has put a complete hold on my life. I am afraid to drive or have any life what so ever. I am at my wits end with "maybe this or maybe that" will help. I NEED ANSWERS!!!

I have been affected by foggy vision since I was younger. I can't disagree with anyone above but I have my own troubles with foggy vision that I can share, not to mention, I've worn contacts in the past, but had to stop wearing them. In short, I have an eye disease called Keratoconus (not suggesting that anyone above has it) that caused my cornea to be misshaped. Due to this distortion of the cornea, I had astigmatism in the most severe form; it was worse in my left eye. I wore contacts to correct my vision and at times, my vision would be foggy. Remedy: There is this solution for those who wear contact lenses that prevents this, go online or visit your respective eye care provider for information. Also, I made the mistake of sleeping at night with my contacts still in my eye; that's a no no. This called gonk to build up in my eyes which made them foggy. Eventually, a few years later, my cornea became worse from the eye disease that I needed surgery, so I got a cornea transplant. With the new cornea I could see better but every morning I wake up to a foggy cornea. My doctor gave me a special eye drop called cyclopentolate hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution to help remedy the fogginess.The solution helps. I'm not sure if this will help anyone but good luck finding the problem.
