Vision troubles.....

[franceslee]

Not really sure where to start, I have been to an opthamologist an he says my eyes are healthy just need to wash the with baby shampoo an they are on the side.  However, my vision is always weird.  It's kinda like my vision will seem dimmer on different days.  I just don't know what could be wrong....any help or advice would beappreciated!

Don't smoke, well done on your diet. If you get down to your ideal body weight your diabetes may "go away".  Most new cases of Diabetes in the USA are related to our sedentary lifestyle and epidemic of obesity.

I do have high blood pressure but it is controlled with medication.  I just recently was but on metformin for elevated glucose test.  I do have blepharitis, I have a ointment I put in my eyes nightly.  Any other advice?  Thanks !

Vision is related to a number of factors including your energy level, blood sugar levels, medications you might take, tasks your're performing, etc.

Given your normal exam (except for what sounds like blepharitis) you should be reasured. Be certain you see your personal physician for general physicial and appropriate lab. Problems like diabetes and high blood pressure can cause problems like you have.
