Our vision is vital to functioning during the day and is essential for driving, working, and conducting daily activities. When we start having eye-focusing problems, we tend to experience significant disruptions during the day. If you begin experiencing trouble focusing, it is best to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment. Several eye conditions can cause problems with focusing. Our eye doctors at Visionary Eye Center serve patients in Jupiter, West Palm Beach, Abacoa, Port Saint Lucie, and Stuart for all of their eye care needs.
What Eye Conditions Cause Trouble Focusing?
When people have trouble focusing on objects, they have accommodative dysfunction. This condition causes the eyes to struggle when shifting focus from one thing to another. Patients often experience blurry vision while shifting their focus. As a result, people with accommodative dysfunction have trouble performing visually demanding tasks, such as reading.
What Other Eye Conditions Cause Eye Focusing Problems?
Several other eye conditions may cause eye-focusing problems. Some of the most common causes of eye-focusing problems include myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. These conditions can be treated with corrective eyeglasses or prescription contact lenses.
Other eye conditions which may cause you to experience trouble focusing include computer vision syndrome, corneal abrasions, pink eye, high blood sugar, and age-related macular degeneration. Cataracts, stroke, detached retina, and transient ischemic attack can also cause temporary blurry vision.
Treatments for Sudden Blurry Vision
If you are suddenly experiencing blurry vision, it is best to schedule an eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist. The eye doctor can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment based on the cause of your blurry vision. In some cases, urgent surgery may be needed to treat a person with trouble focusing. Additionally, if you believe your trouble focusing could be a sign of a stroke, call 911 immediately.
