eye.
Other ways to describe blurred vision include
clouded or dim vision.

How is blurred vision diagnosed?
Your doctor will diagnose the cause of your
blurred vision by first taking an inventory of
your symptoms. Examples of questions they may ask
include
When did you first start noticing the blurred
vision? What makes the blurred vision worse or
better?
They may also ask about your personal medical
history as well as a family history of eye
conditions.

Eye tests
Your doctor may next want to perform a physical
examination of your eyes. They may test your
vision by asking you to read an eye chart. They
might also perform other eye tests, such as
ophthalmoscopy refraction test slit lamp
examination tonometry, which measures intraocular
pressure

Blood Tests

use tests to obtain your white blood cell count
(WBC) if they suspect there could be an infection.

causes of blurred vision, taking steps to care
for your eyes can help prevent lifestyle-related
causes.

Here are some tips for healthy vision

  broad-spectrum protection when youre going out
  in the sun.

  antioxidant lutein can be found in dark, leafy
  green such as spinach and kale. Foods high in
  omega-3 fatty acids include albacore tuna, trout,
  and halibut. Get vitamin A from sources such as
  carrots, sweet potatoes, and liver.
• Dont smoke.
• Undergo regular comprehensive eye exams,
  especially if someone in your family has a
  history of an eye disease.
