Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since your sister has headaches, the blurred vision can be a part of aura of migraine. Hence migraine should be ruled out. Other possibility is benign intracranial hypertension. Hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency are a few things I would recommend you get her investigated for. These can precipitate BIH. A spinal tap is a must both to diagnose the condition and to treat it.  Your sister needs to consult a neurologist.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

That same thing happens to me when i have low blood sugar or have blacked out recently. Try giving her some glucose pills. But also listen to the doctors, sometimes they are't right but they usually are.
