From Stress to Diabetes: When Blurred Vision Signals More Than Fatigue

Vision can deteriorate under the influence of many factors, ranging from age-related changes and chronic illnesses to fatigue, stress, and unhealthy habits, ophthalmologist Maria Levina told Pravda.Ru. Natural Changes and Medical Conditions Affecting Vision The causes of declining eyesight can be both natural and pathological. Some stem from age-related changes in the structure of the eye, while others result from external influences or systemic diseases. "Vision loss can have many different causes. These include age-related changes such as presbyopia, when after the age of forty even people with excellent distance vision begin to lose the ability to see clearly up close. Today, however, this problem is easily corrected with progressive lenses,” Levina explained.
