Eyesight gone sbad...

Anyone out there going blind like me?
It's crazy!!! Went from 20/20 to 20/40 or 40/20 however that works according to nation wide. That was my first time to the eye doctor. I needed glasses to drive since I cnt read the usual signs until I'm literally driving  right by them. Feels weird, my eyes are tired and dry all the time. I was told I could get worse or my eyes sight could go back to normal. Anyone else's went back to normal?

I actually had a conversation with an er Dr about this last night. I've had a headache for over a week ended up in er for 2nd time last night. Ended up having to get a ct scan but anyways while waiting Dr came in and he was asking me about my eye sight. He was telling me how a lot of women go blind in  one or both eyes during pregnancy (even if had perfect vision before) and once hormones level out so does eye sight.

Yup, I was told the same thing. So I walked out of there with the cheapest prescription glasses I found for $100.

I been having problems with my eye sight for about 5 years now but it actually got better, that's what the eye doctor told me and he loweres my eyeglasses prescription. He told me to go back after I have my baby because it can all change because of all the hormones.
