Eyes focus
Posted: 02-06-08 23:40pm

I was just watching TV, which I regularly watch at around 10 every night. I got up and stopped in the middle of the room, I was standing up. I was thinking about the program I had just watched and all of the sudden I noticed my eyes were blurry and unfocused and I turned and looked at the TV to see if I could focus. After about 5 seconds they re-focused and my head felt heavy then felt a small tingling sensation then it stopped. This all happened in a matter of seconds. After words I was/am shaking, but thats probolly cuz I'm freaked out. What the heck just happened to me???

1. It could be that you stood up too fast... This is not a problem and is a normal occurance. If it persists tho, I would recommend you get your blood-pressure checked. I suffer from abnormally low blood-pressure and have taught my self to take it slow when standing up and such, so I don't get blurry vision, see stars or possibly even faint.

2. It could be fatigue. When I am overly tired, I tend to get "cross-eyed" or struggle to focus..."foggy eyes".

So really, don't get too freaked out about it. Just take it easy and if it happens for an extended period of time, get your self checked out with a doctor.

Hope this helped Wink

Keep Well

yeah, most likely it's from low blood-sugar from not eating or low blood pressure and it could also be fatigue. try to "feed your eyes" with the esential nutrients they need to keep them healthy no matter what, cause pretty much everythin' that's happenin' in your body can negatively affect your eyes. it requires some time and effort to research about these nutrients, but they can certainly help a big deal. good luck.

Also, as you get older (I'm not saying you are, but I just thought I would throw this in!) it takes longer for your eyes to change focus because the focusing bit of the lens (can't remember what it is called) gets hard with age and less flexible.

That was rather a useless piece of information, wasn't it? Sorry. Embarassed

Not really...My eye focusing has always been slow/weird. Lecturers at college used to look at me funny and I couldn't understand why. Then one day, the one lecturer accused me of being on drugs because my pupils was always dialated when she saw me. I have never touched drugs in my life...except for prescription/chronic meds...
