I thought possible vision changes were an old wives tale. Anyone feel like they can't see as well? I feel like my vision is off, like it's time for me to get glasses or something

OMG...yes! I am having the same issue. I normally have great vision but I find myself squinting at the tv in our bedroom and it's a 42 in screen! Please let this be temporary.

I'm having the same issues. Maybe not so much my actual VISION... But my contacts are suddenly a lot less comfortable... I wear glasses a ton now, and I'm not a fan of glasses really.

Honestly, yes. For the past couple of days, sitting here looking at my computer has become challenging. It will go blurry, as well as the TV. It also makes me feel dizzy sometimes when I am walking.

Vision changes are normal during pregnancy, one of the things that can change with increased blood volume. I have my regular ophthalmologist appointment in September, but I really don't want to buy new glasses with a prescription ordered during pregnancy.

My eyes feel more blurry, and I feel like I need to rub my eyes like...why are they so blurry? Plus I get dizzy sometimes and see spots! This only happens when I'm pregnant!

I never really experienced it, but I know with LASIK surgery, they make you wait a year after having your baby so your eyes adjust back. My eyes started getting super dry with my first pregnancy, and since having LASIK, they are even drier, so that is no fun this time around.

You girls are helping me feel normal!! I swear it takes at least 30 minutes in the morning to be able to see clearly, I keep putting in drops and checking to see if I have stuff in my eyes, they are very blurry!

Does anyone know when this goes away? I don't remember this last time

From what I've heard, it can take up to a year after baby is born

The increased blood volume slightly changes the shape of your eye, which can cause vision changes.

I'm a freak about vision, both of my kids are going blind and I'm legally blind in my right eye, so unexpected changes freak me out. I had to research this one last week.

Thank you for the info, I don't think I could bring myself to get glasses while I was pregnant, especially if my vision is going to *hopefully* go back to normal.

before my ectopic surgery I felt like my contacts were "off" two days beforehand but it turns out one had fallen out so i was only half seeing like I was supposed to LOL however, my last term pregnancy is when I got my glasses and they said I would need a new prescription as soon after I delivered since pregnancy makes your sight worse? :S
