Please dont laugh since giving birth i have trouble focusing my eyes why?

Question

I gave birth almost 3 weeks ago and since then i cant focus my eyes properly i need to blink or rub them a few times then they are fine. I wear glasses for reading,writing,computer work,drinving so i might wear them a bit more and i had a eye test last year

Answer 1

Hmmmm, that is a post partum symptom I have never heard of. I know you are probably suffering from lack of sleep, but I don't know if that could be causing it. Call your doctors office and speak with a nurse about this "symptom". Good luck

Edit.- Hmmm, come to think of it, after my second son was born I went through a phase of craving cooked carrots (which I hated at the time) to the point of eating literally a few pounds of carrots a day, getting up in the middle of the night even to eat them... maybe it has something to do with vitamin deficiency due to pregnancy. Try carrots, it can't hurt. :)

Answer 2

maybe go and talk to your dr and  have another eye test.

Answer 3

It's actually quite normal during pregnancy and a while after.  I don't know from personal experience, but I read about it when I was searching for lasik because pregnant  woman may not have it done since their eyes keep fluctuating during and a bit after.  I believe hormones are the culprit.  I would call your eye doc just to make sure this is normal.

Answer 4

The baby probably absorbed certain nutrients that your body needs to keep your eye focus sharp.

But you can improve your eyesight dramatically. Spinach with lutein, carrots, bilberry capsules, rue tablets, red peppers, yellow peppers, goji berries -- all will help your eyesight get back to normal.

Answer 5

i can't tell you why but your not alone mine did it to for about a year

Answer 6

All  sorts of strange things can happen after you give birth. Its all of the hormones in your body going haywire!! It will go back to normal in a couple of months. Just to be safe i would get an eye test and remember to tell your doc at your 6-8 week after baby check up.

It could also be from tiredness

take care

Answer 7

it might be ur hormones

after awhile when ur hormones r balance it should be better

Answer 8

This is no doubt a hormonal change but you must see your optician as soon as possible.  It's nothing to worry about but you may need some different glasses for a while.

After I'd had my daughter my eyesight deteriorated for about a year, then my eyes reverted to their original prescription.  It's perfectly normal but you do need to get another eye test.

Answer 9

I'm no expert....... But I'd have to guess that the baby took a lot of nutrients from your body, some of which helped your eyesight. Also, maybe during the birth you straigned yourself a lot, and a vessel burst. It's ok, though, it should come back to normal. But.... go to a doctor just in case, huh, since this bothered ya enough to ask on Yahoo. Make sure there's nothing... else going on, but I reeeally doubt it, pretty sure you'll be fine :)

Answer 10

Answer 11
