Any Opticians/Eye specialists about? Altitude related blurriness...
This might sound a bit odd, but hoping someone might be able to throw some light on something for me.
Just under 3 weeks ago, i flew back from a 2 week honeymoon in Jamaica. Waking up on the plane in the morning, i noticed the sight in my right eye was a blurrier than usual (i wear glasses for short sightedness).
I figured it was sleep goo in my eye, a hair, or dryness, and went to the loo to check. All looked fine. I gently massaged my closed eye lid to stimulate more watering. No change.
Over the 3 hours from then till landing, and getting to our car, it improved slightly, but was still not right, so hubby drove home.
It seemed to have disappeared, but i tried my contact lenses this friday night, for a night out, and my vision just seemed wrong- like the prescription wasn't quite right. Tried them in the other eyes in case i'd switched by accident, checked they were right way out, all fine, but the vision still wasnt right. So gave up and wore my glasses.
Now i am aware of it again, my glasses now seem slightly off too.
I am slightly concerned that something could have changed so noticeably over night, especially as i am booked on another long haul in 2 weeks time.
Does anyone know if this is a common/known phenomenon? Could there be something more serious wrong?
Incidentally, i had LASIK in early 2004, and my vision has been stable for 4 years. Last eye test, and when i was given my contact lense prescription was in Decemeber 2009, wore them no problems for my wedding March 2010.
Anyone?
