Anyone experiencing vision changes?

Question

In the past week or so I’ve noticed my vision getting worse. When Googling, it seems common, but it’s weird. Anyone else experiencing this? Debating if I should call my doctor?

Answer

Your vision can change during pregnancy due to hormones. I work for an ophthalmologist. That's why you cannot have LASIK surgery until 6 months after pregnant/nursing 😊

Answer

Could be a sign of preeclampsia, do you have any other symptoms of it (swelling in hands/feet/face, protein in urine, high blood pressure)

Answer

Thanks for all the responses! Definitely seems common! 
For the concern of preeclampsia, everything is normal for me including blood pressure, and at every appointment they take a urine sample, and all has been in the clear. 
I guess it’s another pregnancy thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Does make you concerned tho when things you used to be able to see clearly are more blurred.

Answer

I’ve been getting vision disturbances like rainbow prisms, black floaters, and black around the edges. I brought it up at my appointment yesterday but my blood pressure is low so she said she doesn’t know what it is and told me to go to an eye doctor for a full exam 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

My eyes are definitely worse than before pregnancy. I wouldn't be concerned about preeclampsia unless it was a sudden change but mine I've noticed throughout my entire pregnancy.

Answer

Vision changes are very common. My eye Dr said not to do lasik before I am done having kids because my vision would change and I'd end up needing a correction surgery or glasses after.

Answer

Yes luckily I have glasses that was too strong and i never used it so i went back to my old glasses and now i see better with the stronger lenses.

Answer

Oh I am the same! Just over 28 weeks now and I feel like I have to squint to look at anything. I never really even noticed until my other half pointed it out. But yeah I feel like everything looks slightly blurry now it's a nightmare but apparently pretty common x

Answer

Yes my eyes are definitely worse. I thought about going to go get an eye exam but figured I should wait until after baby to see if it changes back!

Answer

I am! I had the same with my first born. My vision is just slightly blurrier. It went back to normal after my son was born. I’m thinking it’ll be the same this time around. I talked with my midwife and since I have no other markers for preeclampsia she is not concerned.
