Why Is Your Vision Blurry?
4. Your Eye Is Inflamed
Eye tissue may swell because it's been bruised or something bad was splashed in it. The herpes virus from a cold sore could move to your eye. Sleeping in your contacts, not cleaning them correctly, or not throwing them away when you should can also lead to infections. Immune system diseases that affect other parts of your body, like psoriasis, IBS, and rheumatoid arthritis, can also cause inflammation in your eye.

3.You Have Diabetes
When your blood sugar isn't well-controlled, fluid may seep into the lens of your eye and make it swell. This can happen before you're diagnosed or if you're changing your treatment, like starting insulin. As your glucose level gets back to normal, the lens should, too. People with diabetes are more likely to get retinopathy and other eye problems, which your eye doctor will check for at your yearly exam.

2. Your Eyes May Be Tired
Have you been staring at a screen or page or focusing on a task for a long time? People tend to blink less often when they're concentrating like that. And each time you blink, you're spreading tears across the surface of your eye to keep it lubricated, clean, and refreshed. You may need to remind yourself to blink more often, take breaks, and look around to prevent vision fatigue.
Why Is Your Vision Blurry?
1. You Need Glasses
When your eyeball is shaped more like an egg than round, or your cornea or your lens isn't curved just so, light can't focus in the right spot. That can lead to seeing clearly only at certain distances (nearsighted and farsighted) and distorted vision (astigmatism). You can often correct these "refractive errors" with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or minor surgery.
