Blurry vision

Did anyone ever get blurry vision early in recovery?

I'm only 32 so I refuse to believe my eye sight is going already

Not medical advice just curious if anyone else got it.

I seem to recall getting it when I was detoxing but it cleared out shortly. Maybe i've been working too much!

I used to get dizzy spells which made my eyesight very weird at times, and this was something that didn't sort itself out for up to 6 months.

I went to a Dr and low blood pressure was the issue aswell as blood sugar levels, basically my body was trying hard to adjust from not having alcohol and was all over the place.

Best getting checked out by a Dr is my best advice, it could be a number of things!!

I did not personally experience it, soberlife, but other posters here have complained of it.

Best to have your doctor check it out.

My eyes were light sensitive in early recovery for around a week or so

As for your eyesight going at 32 i wear glasses sometimes and im 32

If it persists book a Dr apt

My eye sight was blurry at time and it has improved gradually.

I didn't have blurry vision, but I had headaches, and I had never been prone to headaches in the past. To stay on the safe side, maybe you should get checked out by a doctor?

I reckon any blurry vision needs to get checked out, just to be safe

My vision was bad and my glasses prescription needed an adjustment; I hadn't noticed earlier as I was so busy being drunk That and I'm getting older

Are you feeling anxious? Sometimes anxiety can cause pupils to dilate which can cause blurred vision x
