Question
On two seperate occasions my sight has went out of focus. Both times it was a minute or less before my sight went back to normal. Each time this occured i had stretched.  I have worn glasses all my life, i'm in my fifties. what is causing my eyes not to focus?

Answer
Dear Marilyn,

This could be related to fluctuations in the blood pressure and not originating from the eyes. Please have a good physical examination done to rule out systemic causes.


Best,
