Vision changes during pregnancy ??

Question

I need to make an appointment with my ophthalmologist. But I was told to wait till after birth because hormones can change your vision temporarily...does breast feeding affect vision as well??

Answer

My vision started to get bad during pregnancy but after was a whole lot worse I kept putting it off thinking it would get better but after a few months of no change I got tested and I now have to wear glasses 24/7.

Answer

Optometrists here; we typically advice you to wait til after the first 6weeks postpartum. Preferably a bit longer if possible. It takes quite some time for your body to go back to normal, and taking a vision test while you are most likely pretty sleep deprived is no good idea. 
Of course, if you notice that your vision is horrible, take a test, but be aware that it will most likely change quite a bit and potentially quickly.

Answer

No, breast feeding won't affect your vision. It's not hormones but rather the increased amount of blood you develop during pregnancy. Tiny blood vessels in your eyeball will swell and might cause your vision to be a bit blurry.
