Blurry vision is the loss of sharpness of eyesight, making objects appear out of focus and hazy.

The primary causes of blurred vision are refractive errors nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism or presbyopia.

Blurry vision is very common.

A problem with any of the components of your eye, such as the cornea, retina, or optic nerve, can cause sudden blurred vision.

Slowly progressive blurred vision is usually caused by long-term medical conditions.

Sudden blurring is most often caused by a single event.

Heat Stroke can also cause blurred vision.

If you're out in the heat and your vision starts to become blurry then it could be a sign of heat stroke.

Heat Stroke is an emergency and can be deadly if not treated quick enough.

So if you think yourself or someone else is having a heat stroke call 911 and get medical attention as soon as possible.
