blurry vision in right eye, headache
Posted: 02-29-08 00:33am

In the past 4 weeks i've developed blurry vision in my right eye. Its very troubling because nothing seems to be helping. I've had a history of sinus problems, but my vision has always been healthy. I went to an opthamologist who said my eye was healthy, possibly some allergy bumps, but nothing serious. My vision in my right eye is consistently deteriorating and I'm worried it may be something neurological.

I see fine up close, but can barely read street signs with my right eye from afar. I have headaches on the right said of my head now and it feels like something is just in my eye. If anyone knows what this could be, or if I should be worried, I'd appreciate your advice.

Did you get the headaches along with blurred vision?
Do you eel pain when you move your eye or touch it through the eyelid?
Are you suffering from a chronic sinusitis?

Hi,

Yes, I do suffer from chronic sinus problems. The headaches did not come before the eye bluriness. The bluriness is pervasive, I have it in the morning when I wake up and when I go to sleep. It doesnt really hurt when I touch through my eyelids, but it is a little tender. I went to an opthamologist and he said that I do have some allergy bumps around the eye, but the eye structure seemed fine. He prescribed a topical steroid, which hasnt made any improvement. The bluriness is severe in my right eye, but my left eye vision is good. I think the headaches come from the lack of quality of vision in my right versus my left eye.

It feels like something is in my eye sometimes, and there is some pain. I've had problems with my sinuses for the last 5 years, but never blurry vision until these last few months. My vision up close in both eyes is fine, but my vision in my right is completely blurry beyond 5 feet.

Thank you for any help or advice you can provide.

Are you experiencing nausea or vomiting?
Do you see haloes around lights?
Is the blurring of your vision intermittent?

The blurry vision is constant. It seems stongest in the morning and during the day, and a little better at night. Again, it's only in my right eye, my left eye vision is fine. I have no nausea or vomitting and don't see any halos etc. I had an eye exam and my vision in my left eye is 20/15 and right eye was 20/40.

Do you have blind spots in your central or peripheral vision?
Have you noticed some loss of color vision, too?
