My eyes...

I never thought a post about my eyes would make it onto my TTC blog, but ya just never really know...Well I've been having trouble with my eyes. I wear glasses and they've worked great! I go in annually for an exam. My vision has been blurring or running together, dry eyes and I've been having a headache. So I made an appointment. I thought for sure I was going blind or something. And the doc says my vision has IMPROVED so my glasses were now to strong. I was stunned. She said something about my nearsightedness but I can't remember. She was talking to me during the glaucoma test and those drops friggin BURN. And so being the Googler I am, I looked up reasons for vision changes and well of course.....

What it is: The blurred vision and dry, irritated eyes that are so common during pregnancy.

What causes vision changes during pregnancy: Pregnancy hormones (what else?) that decrease tear production (ironically, since they certainly don't decrease crying!), leading to eye dryness, irritation, and discomfort. Hormones also cause fluid buildup in your eyes, the same way they make your ankles swell. This can lead to changes in the curvature of your eye, which causes a change in your vision. Not only can these changes make contact lenses uncomfortable, but they can change the way glasses work. If a woman is already far-sighted, she usually becomes less far-sighted while pregnant. If she has normal vision or is near-sighted, she usually would become near-sighted or more near-sighted.

Looking forward to my doctor appointment Wednesday. I'm now 16 days late. It's CD54
