3 types of blurred vision warn of the risk of blindness

Many people think that blurred vision is simply due to working too much, dust in the eyes... without knowing that it is a sign of a dangerous eye disease.

Blurred vision due to retinal detachment/hemorrhage, cataracts, macular degeneration... is very dangerous because it reflects damage to extremely important structures deep inside the eye. Conventional eye care measures and external interventions are not very effective, but need to act at the molecular level to prevent the risk of vision loss and blindness.

Most patients often ignore blurred vision, leading to dangerous diseases only being detected at a late stage, causing the rate of blindness to increase. According to estimates from the World Health Organization, over 75% of blindness cases can be prevented if detected early. Therefore, when the eyes show blurred vision, special attention should be paid to the following signs of damage to recognize serious eye diseases:

Macular degeneration: When suffering from macular degeneration, the patient experiences blurred vision in the central area, for example, when looking at someone, only seeing hands and feet, not seeing the face clearly; sometimes sudden blurred vision, seeing deformed, distorted, blurry and pale images; seeing one image as two images.

Don't ignore blurred vision, whether it's fleeting or constant.

Cataract: The lens acts as a converging lens, allowing light to pass through, focusing the light rays right on the retina to form a clear, sharp image. A cloudy lens will lead to blurred vision at a distance; blurred vision during the day and glare at night or seeing halos around lights; seeing the colors of objects incorrectly; seeing one image as two or more images.

Diabetic retinopathy complications: In diabetic patients, high blood sugar levels increase vascular permeability, causing blockage, edema, and hypoxia in the capillary system, leading to many problems in the retina such as exudation, hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and macular edema. On the other hand, it also changes the size and regulatory ability of the lens; causing vitreous hemorrhage...

In the advanced stage of the disease - severe damage or when blood sugar levels increase, 300-400mg/dl - the eyes may lose color perception, lose vision temporarily (suddenly), and eventually lose vision permanently. The International Diabetes Federation warns that people with diabetes have a 25 times higher risk of blindness than normal people.

In all three groups of lesions, in the early stages, patients only feel blurred vision, without pain or discomfort. However, in later stages, symptoms of pain, fatigue, dry eyes, reduced eye accommodation, physical damage to the eye structure may appear... making the blurred vision worse, causing difficulties in daily life and threatening vision loss, making treatment difficult.

The World Ophthalmological Association also specifically noted that the community needs to have regular eye check-ups and go for an examination as soon as there are signs of blurred vision to promptly detect dangerous eye diseases if they are unfortunately contracted, thereby having early active intervention to avoid the risk of blindness.
