Dizziness, Blurry Vision. Need The Eyes To Be Checked?

I just got out of the car and went into a drugstore, and my vision got really weird when I looked around. It made me dizzy and had to hold on to the cart. Getting to the car was a chore. Wasn't as bad if I looked straight ahead, but looking around was out of the question. I'm 62, and this never happened to me before. Things got blurred real bad! Should I have my eyes checked?

I'm sorry, I thought I had one free medical question. Thank you. Sorry to take up your time.

Hello Debbie,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.com.
Thank you for sending in your query.

The important question here is how long the 'dizziness' lasted?

Such acute onset of dizziness though rules out many ocular pathologies and suggests more towards some systemic or neurological involvement.

I suggest a routine eye checkup and you need to rule out Migraine.

Thanking You,
I find this answer helpful
