Blurry ‪‎Vision During Pregnancy, is a side effect of pregnancy

Blurry ‪‎Vision During Pregnancy?

Fluid retention, a common side effect of pregnancy, can change the thickness and shape of the cornea. Minor changes in its shape may result in blurry or distorted vision. Fortunately, these changes usually go away after pregnancy or after you stop breast feeding.
What to do: You may not need to do anything if the changes don't bother you. If your vision alters significantly, however, talk to your doctor. You may need to change your prescription if you wear glasses. Most ‎eye ‪experts advise against getting ‪‎lasik ‪surgery or being fitted for new ‪‎contacts during pregnancy. The reason: the shape of your cornea will revert to normal after your pregnancy is over.

If the expecting mother wear contacts, then be sure to check the label to make sure the lubricant can be used with contacts. Ordinary artificial tears have preservatives that can harm soft contact lenses. Also, check with the doctor first to make sure the active ingredients are safe for pregnant women.
