What Causes Little Blurry Vision With A Criss Cross Pattern And Difficulty In Reading?
Question: This afternoon, after having a very light lunch, my eyes went a little blurry, with a criss cross pattern showing in my eyes. I also had difficulty pronouncing word written on a page. My solution was to eat a few pretzels, pop a couple teaspoons of sugar, and chew a couple aspirins. The symptoms lasted about 30-45 mins., and eventually disappeared. Diabetes?
Brief Answer:
Need examination & Ivestigation
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is not a picture of Diabetes…. Very low or very high sugar values in a known diabetic could cause a similar situation… but recovery is not so soon
The description is highly suggestive of TIA – Transient Ischemic Attack… temporary reduction or pause in the blood supply to a part of the brain. Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis. And that demands examination; probably investigation too;
GET EXAMINED – preferably by a Neurologist. You may need investigation like MRI brain and/or MRA (MRI Angiography) to delineate the blood vessels. They can be done together in the same sitting…. The aim of investigation is to detect any narrowing of the blood vessels (neck and brain) to modify treatment based on the result… and prevent future recurrence. Prognosis is generally excellent in such situations
Good luck
God bless you
