Eyes getting out of focus and dizziness

Posted by Ryman @ryman, Feb 29, 2020

I have been having trouble with my eyes but today is very bad. When I do close work ,like this, my eyes get out of focus and I get dizzy. It is very scary and I can’t do much for very long. Thank you.

Hello @ryman

I recall that you had an eye appointment on April 2. Were you able to keep that appointment? If so, I hope that you received some helpful information. As you are able, please post an update.

I am on my cell phone or computer a lot. In the past year, my left eye will go out of focus, like my eye has crossed, though it hasn't. I have difficulty walking while it acts up. It has even acted up when I am driving and the sun is flickering through the trees. Sometimes I see flickering lights off to my right side while my left eye is acting up. I have been to an eye doctor, but he does not see anything wrong. Andy suggestions. It has been happening more frequently .

You'll see that I moved your post here so you could interact with the people who are having vision problems as well.

Can you share a little more information? How long has this been going on? When you say more frequently, what's the amount of escalation and over what period of time?

@sbrooksmn Have you been checked for pre diabetes or diabetes? This also can affect eyesight.
