Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would do the best u can to help you. Blurred vision in one eye may be due to several reasons like optic neuritis, vasculitis, temporal arteritis, any medications, trauma or visual problems. It is advisable for you to get it worked up. He may require tests like a conplete eye checkup including a fundoscopy, CBC with ESR, CT scan of the head and other tests to reach to a diagnosis. I sugget you see a doctor so that the condition may be worked up and proper manangement plan be formulated for your son.

Hope it Helps.

Regards
