Sudden blurry vision

 Some people always have blurry vision and this is corrected with lenses. If, however, your condition comes on suddenly, it is much more of a concern. It can be the result of several different conditions. Some conditions that can cause distorted or blurry vision are angle-closure glaucoma, detached retina, wet age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Don't waste any time, give your eye doctor a call. 

Sensitivity to light

 Everyone has a certain amount of sensitivity to light. When you come into the light after having been in a dark place like a movie theater, it often takes a while for your eyes to adjust, but they do adjust. If you are having trouble getting your vision back, it is a problem that needs to be addressed. It can be the result of cataracts, strabismus, or keratoconus. 

Pain in the eye

 Some potential causes of eye pain are dry eye, acute glaucoma, or eyestrain. If the pain is accompanied by nausea or vomiting, headache or fever, it is more concerning and you should call your eye doctor. 

Floaters

 Most people will have an occasional floater, a small item that floats around in front of your vision. These are annoying but usually not a cause for concern. If, however, you have a major increase in the number, this may be a sign that your retina is torn or detached, or it can be diabetic retinopathy. 

Night blindness

 Night blindness is a condition that needs to be taken seriously and an appointment with your eye doctor in Clearwater, FL should be made as quickly as possible. Most of the reasons why you may be suffering from night blindness are more dangerous because of what they mean for your safety than your eye health. If your eyes are not adapting to the dark, it can lead to falls or to auto accidents. Some of the potential issues can be glaucoma, cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa, and vitamin A deficiency.
