(Foreword: This is the continuation of our response to the letter of Ryan 3545 regarding his problems on his blurry vision.)

DEAR Ryan 3545,

Alright, we now move on to the other probable causes of blurry vision.

5. Your blood pressure could probably be low

If you feel that your visions are getting blurry, but you also feel weak and dizzy at the same time, your blood pressure might be too low. This might be because you are dehydrated, which could be due to too much activities done under the heat of the sun.

Of course, there are other things as well which could cause low blood pressure, like medications, heart problems, poor nutrition, and hormone imbalances.

Well, all you need to do to rule out other possibilities which are potentially dangerous is for you to visit your physician as soon as possible.

These blurry visions could be just hinting you to step up and look up after your health.

6. There could be fluid building up in your eye

If this happens, this can put pressure on your optic nerve, and eventually damage it. Moreover, if you are also seeing halos around lights (don’t be mesmerized because they are not angels in front of you and don’t be afraid, because they are not angels who are there to pick you up.), and if you feel that your eyes are very red and hurt a lot or you feel nauseous, you may have acute angle glaucoma. The problem here is that this condition develops so quickly, and you could lose your vision within a day if it's not treated right away.

Oops, again. There are still more to say. But, we are again running out of space for now. So, we’ll continue this in my next issue. Until then again!
