Pregnancy and Vision

1) Many times contact lenses become intolerable during pregnancy and it is often suggested to wear glasses during the duration of the pregnancy.
2) Mild changes can occur to your prescription during pregnancy but are usually temporary.
3) Due to hormonal changes the eyes can feel more dry and irritated during pregnancy.
4) If you are already diabetic pregnancy may exacerbate diabetic retinopathy which can also blur the vision.
5) Complaints of spots are taken very seriously often being confused with scotomata which can indicate preeclampsia or eclampsia.
