One eye wouldn't focus when I woke up this morning?

Question

This has happened a few times, but when I woke up this morning, my left eye wouldn't focus...it felt like I was cross-eyed or something--but just one eye. It was pretty scary! It took like 45 seconds or so to correct.

What could have caused this? Is this dangerous to my sight?

Answer 1

You may have been sleeping on it funny which tweaked it a little.  If it only took seconds to adjust, you should be fine.  

Answer 2

My brother had the same thing. It could be two things as far as I know. You may need more vitamin A and if you already take multivitamins then it could be just you had a late night or just a rare case of something weird which isn't serious although if it happens again then go straight to the doctor.

Answer 3

It is scary. Happened to me one night after a hard night of drinking. Some idiot threw a baseball at me and hit my eye. You will be okay with one eye. Just take good care of it.  

Answer 4

Yu need help, yu have a bung eye

Answer 5

It can be many things, but the most important thing is, how often does this happen?

Many times, this can happen because the cones and rods cells on the retina of each eye need to "re-energize".  Blood sugar levels, and nutrition all plays a roll, and if this was the first occurance, its probably just a fluke... kinda like a glitch in your computer.  But be careful, as if you have a very unhealthy diet and you are overweight or inactive, and this happens more frequently, this can be a sign of the onset of diabetes.
