Cataract Blurred vision

Blurred vision can result from several factors:

  • Lens error. Based on your great vision of 20/25 this is unlikely to be the case.
  • Dry eyes can contribute significantly to blurred vision and glare at night. We recommend artificial tears such as Systane or Refresh tears 3-4 times per day or as directed by your ophthalmologist.
  • Blurred vision can also be a direct result from swelling in the retina, which usually occurs a few weeks after cataract surgery in rare cases. Given your great level of visual acuity of 20/25—which is just one line away from 20/20—that’s unlikely.

Glare can be present even after cataract surgery and tends to decrease over time. Glare can be seen with multifocal lenses and even non-multifocal lenses. After cataract surgery with multifocal lenses some patients may even need a pair of glasses at night and/or for reading to achieve best vision. The duration of these symptoms can vary greatly depending on each patient’s unique circumstance. Speak with your ophthalmologist for more information.

Natural Cures for Blurred Vision:

Vitamin A:

Vitamin A is a necessary part of any healthy lifestyle, but it’s extremely important when it comes to your vision.

When one is looking for a natural cure for blurred vision or any type of vision problem, they should look to Vitamin A first and foremost.

Taking Vitamin A supplements is an excellent idea to ensure that you are getting the proper levels, however there are many foods that can contribute to this natural cure.

You can use certain foods as a home remedy for blurred vision such as spinach, milk, cabbage, and carrots.

Liquorice:

Taking half a teaspoon of the liquorice root as part of a drink can be an excellent natural cure for blurred vision.

Mixing the powdered version of this root with honey, butter, and milk and drinking twice a day can work as a very effective home remedy for blurred vision.

Chicory:

Chicory root is an excellent natural cure for any sort of vision problems, especially blurred vision. This has natural food supplements to it that are good for the optic system and are high in Vitamin A concentration as well.

Taking a chicory supplement can be a great natural cure, but an even more effective home remedy is to mix chicory juice with juices of carrots, celery, and parsley.

This will help to cure any blurred vision that an individual is suffering and to prevent it from recurring in the future.
