What Causes Blurred Vision After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

I had my bottom wisdom teeth removed 2 years ago but not my top ones. Since then my vision has became blurry to the point where i need two different pairs of glasses. I have constant pressure on the sides of my head and earache / pressure behind my ears. This has affected my life so much i spend most days in bed now as i feel so drowsy when awake. If i remove my top wisdom teeth will i feel better?

Extraction of upper wisdom teeth can relieve in case if due to the wisdom teeth encroaching the floor of sinuses and causing infection in sinuses is the cause, otherwise not..

As of now you can try using saline nasal irrigation. Decongestant nasal sprays like Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline for reducing pressure..
Take anti-inflammatory painkillers like ...
