What should I do if one eye is blurry as if there's a foggy layer blocking it?
Blurred vision in one eye with a foggy layer may be relieved through rest, wearing glasses, using medications, and other methods.
1. Rest: Prolonged close-up viewing of phones or computers can cause eye strain and lead to changes in eye shape, resulting in blurred vision with a foggy sensation in one eye. In such cases, patients should ensure adequate rest and perform eye exercises to help improve symptoms.
2. Wearing glasses: Blurred vision with a foggy layer in one eye may be due to myopia (nearsightedness). Patients should promptly visit a hospital for vision testing. If diagnosed with myopia, they should wear eyeglasses under medical guidance.
3. Medication: Bacterial infection of the cornea may cause swelling and cloudiness, leading to blurred, foggy vision. Treatment may include prescription eye drops such as levofloxacin ophthalmic solution, ganciclovir ophthalmic solution, or cyclosporine ophthalmic solution, used according to medical advice.
In addition, patients are advised to monitor their screen time and viewing distance when using phones or computers, maintain good eye hygiene, and avoid rubbing their eyes.
