Blurred Vision
Vision can become blurry for a number of reasons, some temporary, others signifying a decline into blindness. Most people eventually experience a gradually increasing, but steady blurriness with age, due to presbyopia. Other more serious causes include cataracts and macular degeneration.
Most temporary bouts with blurred vision are harmless, but if they are recurring, they may be a warning sign of something more serious. Fatigue and sun exposure can cause temporarily blurred vision which will soon resolve itself. Some medications will blur your vision as well. More serious health problems, such as a brain tumor or undetected stroke can cause fluctuating blurriness.
Dry eye syndrome tends to cause blurriness which is the worst upon waking and gradually improves throughout the day. This is because our eyes are usually just a tiny bit open as we sleep, allowing them to dry out in the night.
If cataracts are the source of your blurry vision, you may want to consider intraocular lens implants as a solution.
