Blurry vision is a common issue in which a person is unable to see clearly or sharply. One or both eyes may be affected, and the blurriness may develop gradually or suddenly. The indistinct vision may be present when viewing objects at close range, at a distance or under all circumstances. Other visual symptoms, such as halos, floaters and decreased peripheral vision, may accompany the blurry vision.
People of all ages may experience blurry vision, although some causes of the issue are age-related. Causes of blurry vision include refractive errors, a disease, physical changes due to age, hereditary disorders and injuries.1‘Blurriness.’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 25 Jan. 2021, www.aao.org/eye-health/symptoms/blurriness-2.,2Blurred Vision By Christopher J.
