eye vision

[sara127]

Hello
I was wondering if it is possible for your myopia to change in a matter of about a month since you see the eye doctor?  Is it possible that your myopia has increased and are seeing a little blurry, not as clear in a matter of a month since the eye doctor?  How long does changes in your myopia usually take?  Is it a sudden thing or does it take a while to progess to blurryness?
Thank You

In some people the changes are slow and in others its fast. With very rapid changes other things need to be considered like diabetes or the effect of some medications or corneal disease.

Yes, it's possible! Last year this happened to me (my vision in my right eye started appearing blurry almost overnight at one point and I didn't know what was wrong). I went back to the eye doctor and they diagnosed it as a condition called keratoconus (would fall in the corneal disease category mentioned by the MD above me).  I don't say this to worry you because that was my unique circumstance, but it could be a number of things so you should go back and get it checked out. In my case they prescribed a new contact lens that allowed more oxygen to get to my eye.  Most likely the doctor will have an explanation for you!
