Faraway objects appear blurred. What should I do?

Question

Hello doctor,

Sometimes, the faraway objects become blurred as well as I cannot see the writing in class on the board clearly or the slides on the projector. But, the problem is that it is not regular. Rather sometimes, as I can see everything clearly like when I go to the movies I sit at the back still everything is clear. What should I do? Do I need an eye test as I have done it last year? It was clear at that time. These symptoms were still there but not frequent as now.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

We need to know if you are far-sighted, that means hyperopic. They usually have good vision at a young age. But the vision deteriorates with aging and when stressed. For that, you may need a cycloplegic refraction. The other thing may be tear deficiency. I suggest you use Use Refresh tears (Carboxymethylcellulose) eye drops every four hours and increase the blinking rate when you have blurred vision.
