Blurred Vision, Tingling Teeth

For over a year now, I have experienced random episodes of blurred vision.  It started happening when I was using the computer for long periods of time, but then it began happening sometimes when I got out of the shower, and lately it just happens randomly.  It lasts anywhere from 5 min to 30 min and maybe happens 2-3 times a month.  When this happens my eyes don't feel any different, it's just everything I look at is blurred. All I can do is just close my eyes and wait for it to go away. I have been to an optometrist who gave me a battery of tests but only found a slight asstigmatism in my left eye but I do not need glasses.  I have a history of headaches and BPPV (vertigo) and have been to a neurologist who found nothing wrong after a CAT scan and EEG.
  Another problem, which may or may not be related is a sudden tingling/numbness in my two upper front teeth.  This just happens randomly but does not happen at the same time as my blurred vision.  My doctor said she has never heard of anything like that and thought it was anxiety, but I beg to differ and would appreciate a second opinion or advice on where I should go.  Thanks for your time and any advice!!!

dont know.  all of this sounds neurological to me, even if the neurologist didnt find anything wrong.

have you been to the neurologist SINCE you started having the blurry vision episodes?  if not, go back.

When I went to the neurologist, I believe I reported the blurry vision.  I will be seeing an opthlomologist in a couple weeks for the problem, will he be able to help?
