What is the reason for the rapid decline in vision? What should I do if my vision suddenly decreases a lot?

Vision is really important, especially for people with severe myopia. Generally, if you look at objects at close range for a long time, your vision will be blurred. This is usually due to eye fatigue. Just take a break and look at the distance. However, if your vision deteriorates quickly, you should pay attention and it is recommended to check it in time.

What causes blurred vision?

Decreased vision is a common ophthalmic symptom. An accurate judgment can only be made based on specific symptoms, eye conditions, and personal circumstances. It is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner to dilate the pupil for refraction, measure the refractive power, and complete a fundus examination.

If the patient initially has good vision and then experiences vision loss and blurred vision in a short period of time, myopia may be caused by overuse of the eyes. If the patient is older and has such symptoms, presbyopia may be a possibility.

Generally speaking, myopia increases by about 50 to 100 degrees per year. If a significant decrease in vision occurs, consider the possibility of retinal disease and optic neuropathy. If such symptoms occur without myopia increasing, there is a possibility of combined astigmatism, and glasses with the same refractive power but different curvature need to be replaced.

What should I do if my vision suddenly deteriorates?

The first eye's main function is to see!

If you feel that you can no longer see clearly, and if your vision is slowly declining, it is usually a chronic disease or an age-related condition, so there is generally no need to rush.

However, sudden vision loss should be taken seriously. This disease often comes on very violently and directly affects organ function, so it can be called an emergency.

Another thing is visual distortion. If you look at a straight line and it appears distorted, and things look distorted, then this also indicates that the direct function of the eye is damaged.

Another thing is the change in the color of the objects you see. Darkening or discoloring of objects can also serve as a timely reminder for you to seek medical attention.

What to do if you have dry eyes and blurred vision

Dry eyes and blurred vision are two common ophthalmic symptoms that should be alleviated in different ways. Patients are advised to go to the hospital to complete vision tests in a timely manner to check for myopia, amblyopia, and astigmatism, and to use instruments to adjust or intervene in physical therapy when necessary.

If blurred vision is caused by dry eyes, it is mostly caused by excessive use of eyes or improper use of eyes. It is recommended that patients choose eye drops that can moisturize the eyeballs under the guidance of a doctor. Regular massage around the eyes can promote blood flow and relieve visual fatigue. Patients should minimize the use of electronic devices and close their eyes for three minutes after reading, playing with mobile phones or computers for one hour.

If patients with normal eye usage frequency experience such symptoms, they may have dry eyes and need to seek medical treatment promptly.
