Blurry vision on right side of the eye getting clearer

From time to time I am not able to see the right side of my field of vision clearly. The left side is perfectly clear, however, the right side is blurred. When I am reading something, for example, a sentence from left to right - the first few words are all clear, but the words on the right are blurred. However the words on the right become progressively clearer from left to right as time passes within 5-10 seconds - and the full sentence slowly reveals itself. BUT - if I go back to the first word of the sentence on the left side of page/screen, and start reading the sentence again, the right side of my field of vision is again blurred, and the process repeats itself.

I am wondering what is causing this behavior where I get blurred vision on one half of my field of vision, but where the blurred vision progressively becomes clearer over a few seconds, from left to right. I have experienced this 2 times already within 2 days.

Your symptoms warrant an exam   by an Eye MD with an Amsler grid test and Visual Field peripheral vision test.

I have the same exact problem. I am 13 years old and I've dealt with this problem all my life. If you are allergic to pollen then this is most likely why. I read a a thread on here a minute ago and some people mentioned "eye fishing syndrome'' if you notice, a type of mucus is forming and sometimes maybe your eye is uncomfortable and you may touch them with your fingers irritating them. When I touch my eyes to get the mucus out if hurt more.

You can "sorta" get rid of this goo by placing a rag or paper towel in hot water and placing it on your eye and working the stuff to the corners of your eye. Make sure you don't us the same area of the towel for your eye.
Another way is to get a Q-tip and putting it into the corner of your eye, almost touching your eye, then you twist the Q-tip  and this can roll all of the mucus out of your eye.
A lot of times this can cause serious irritation so not touching you eyes at all can help.
here's a URL on the fishing syndrome. http://www.drmalcolmmckellar.co.nz/mucous-fishing-syndrome.html
