sometimes my eyes feel loose and can't focus

Over the past few years, I occasionally get this strange visual thing where my eyes won't focus. It's usually as I turn my head, it feels like my eyes haven't caught up to my head turning and can't focus for a minute. Today I sat up in bed and couldn't focus on anything, I had to lay back down a while and then it went away. It's not blurred vision, it feels like I can't focus my eyes,almost like my eyes are loose. No other symptoms and it only happens occasionally, although seems like more often lately. I can't find any symptom like this anywhere I've researched.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The symptoms could be due to weak muscles of the eye. It could also be due to poor eyesight like if you were suffering from near or far sightedness along with a cylindrical axis. In such cases focusing becomes a problem in certain directions. I suggest you consult an eye specialist without further delay.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Sounds like BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).

I would recommend consulting an ENT Specialist who deals with vestibular disorders.

Google and see what you think.
