Decline in vision
by sabie, Aug 26, 2006 12:00AM
I am 27 weeks pregnant and went to my opthalmologist because my left eye was bothering me. He said I had a decline in vision from 20/30 to 20/50 so sent me to retina specialist. Found nothing and said everything looked fine.
Question is, since then I have been seeing spots (floaters) in my left eye and was wondering since I have amblopia in just my left eye could that be the reason my vision has declined only in that eye? I know they say pregnancy can change your vision and since both doctors found nothing wrong with my eyes could me being pregnant just had affected the one bad eye?
