Does An Infected Wisdom Tooth Open Up Sinus And Impact Eyesight?

I have only my 2 upper wisdom teeth left and they are now impacted. A couple of months ago they started flaring up and some unusually symptoms followed. It started with block sinus and quickly turned to blurred and double vision. These symptoms lasts as long as the wisdom teeth flare ups. As soon as the flare ups settle down the symptoms dissipate and only start up a couple of months later along with the wisdom teeth flare ups. Are these sinus and eye problems related to the wisdom teeth?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain if you have sinus flare up due to wisdom tooth flare up then there is a possibility that you might experience flare ups due to presence of major sinus cavities behind the eyes and sinus pressure can cause blurry vision..

If you experience blurry vision only during wisdom tooth flare up then it can be due to sinusitis as the roots of upper wisdom teeth and other back teeth lies very close to the roots of the sinus floor..
But if you experience any other symptoms along with blurry vision like dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo etc then it can be due to other causes that needs evaluation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
