My vision is getting terribly blurred. I have Astigmatism as well as many other medical dx. Does anyone else have issue with blurred vision and is there anything you have done that has helped you?

TIA

Same thing here. You need glasses. That's the only cure. I'm sure Lasix would do the trick too.

See an optometrist or opthamologist right away. I'm sure the doctor can figure out why you have blurry vision, and help you feel better.

Be sure to tell the doc about any meds that you are taking.

Always a good idea to take special care with your eyes.

This^^^ the longer you delay seeing the doc the worse it may get.

"TIA" at the end of your post might have unwittingly answered your own question

Ask your doctor about a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attrack), commonly known as a Mini-Stroke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_ischemic_attack

Blurred vision from a mini-stroke could last for a couple of days, gradually going back to normal.

There is nothing inherent in Astigmatism that would be related in any way to blurred vision. If your vision is equally blurred, no matter how far or near the object you are focusing on, and even if you squint, it is probably not something within your eye itself.

I imagine it's possible. I have had history of this in the past.

I was told that astigmatism is the exact cause of blurry vision for those that have it. Is that not true?
