Help! Vision problems!

Hey Moms! I awoke today from a 30 minute nap and could not see out my right eye. I rubbed it and everything around near and far still remain extremely blurry to the point I couldn't recognize. After about 30 minutes of praying it started to get better but the vision is still blurred at a distance.  Has this happened to anyone before? A couple weeks ago I had a lot of pressure in that eye when I would bend over but my doctor said maybe sinuses. I'm praying this is just a pregnancy thing.

it happened during my first pregnancy with no warning. went away after a few hours. I went to the hospital and was monitored, but they never figured out why it happened

As stated above, that can be a sign of preeclampsia. You need to call your doctor right away. It's not something to wait on. Pregnancy can alter your vision, but not to the point where you can't see out of your eye.

How far along are you? Sometimes that is a sign of preclampsia if you have other symptoms that are associated with it. Let your ob know so they could give yoy a better answer to your problem it could be nothing or something more serious.

I'm thinking it is my sinuses.  I never had problems s with them until after I got my wisdom teeth removed. I'm seeing my eye Dr and IV this week to check things out. I had to talk myself out of panicking. Thanks so much for your response

I have issues with my vision when i get a migrain or a head ache above my eye. My vision will go really blurry but never completely gone.

Not sure about not being able to see at all but being pregnant can mess with your vision.  I have to get new contacts when I'm pregnant because my vision changes bad enough that I get head aches. I also have sinus pressure in my head and eyes. I take a Tylenol and try to rest when it is really bad.
