Hi Im a 29y F who for the past 3wks have started having foggy vision. I dont have any medical history and it seems to be both eyes not just one, I have no other symptoms. Should I be seen by an eye Dr. or a medical Dr?
I am now a 45 yr female and lately I have had a rt watery eye seems like just in the mornings and its like looking thru a fog. After I rub it and wipe away the water it seems to clear up. Also lately, I can't seem to distringuish colors when people give me paperwork that is highlighted. Lighter colors like yellow I can't see. I tell them that and they look at me like I'm crazy. Its been 2 years since I have went to the eye doctor as I don't have eye insurance so its something I can't afford to do yearly. Sometime I also see floaties. Should I be concerned? I don't wear contacts anymore
DO NOT WEAR THESE CONTACTS. Contact whomever fit your eyes and get in to make sure you don't have a corneal abrasion or infected cornea. Remember not everone can wear contact lens.

If I could jump in on this conversation . The reason I am looking at this foum is , That I just started wearing contacts . I have been wearing them for 3 days. I am a photographer and need them badly. I am wearing Mono, +75 +250.I do have chronic dry eye This morning I woke to eye pain. So bad I had to get up. Felt like sand . Now that I am awake the pain is gone but I have foggy vision. If I look at light it appears to have halos. I tried putting my old reading glasses on and They wear blurry. I am seeing fine without them. I have a concern about putting the contacts on inside out. I don’t know how to tell if I am doing so. Could putting them in wrong have caused the pain and fogginess?
Hello cherishnkaiden, I disagree with the statement that stress frequently causes blurred vision. If you saw two limited eye care, non-physician health providers (optometrists) and they didn't find anything or refer you to an opthalmologist (Eye MD) then I would concentrate on your other physical symptoms. Before you attribute everything to stress it would be important to have a good physical examination by an Family Practioner or GP or Internist. Things like diabetes, high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid disease, kidney disease, etc need to be excluded. You will need some lab work also. Stress and/or depression should not be given as the cause of your symptoms until organic disease is ruled out.
If your eye symptoms persist see an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive medical eye examination.
Good luck

I have been experiencing clouded vision for about three weeks. It started to worry me, as it can last for an hour or two, then it clears up and comes back. I have been under quite a lot of stress within those three to four weeks, also I had a mild cold about three weeks ago. Saw two optometrics within last two days. One was quite firm that I need glasses as I have somewhat not perfect vision, the other one confirmed my vision is not 20/20, but explaining to her about my past few weeks, she said to wait and see, as she is quite possitive the cloudiness is due to stress I have been under as before I never experienced these symptoms. She also said getting the glasses now might not correct the vision as I am going through quite a lot of stress, and she didn't find anything major wrong with my eyes. What do you think? D
