What causes foggy vision in one eye with headache? – Dr. Sunita Rana Agarwal

One of the common causes of unilateral vision going down is usually Astigmatism, that is refractive error, there are also couple of things associated with deeper own, It can be a cataract, a glaucoma, retinal disease. However a cataract, retinal disease does not create a headache but Astigmatism does create headache. Glaucoma does create headache. Also trauma ,which is only on one eye. so if ther is headache associated with unilateral vision loss, it would usually be a refractive error. Dryness of the eye, glaucoma, infection and trauma. We teat by finding the causative agent. If the causation is refractive error, we treat that. If the causation is Astigmatism, that is when the eyeball which is round in shape looks something like the back side of a spoon. So it is long in one axis and it is short in one axis. To match any glasses on such a sphere is very difficult. With some amount of practice, the patient gets used to Astigmatic glass. Here you will have a minus power, or plus power, plus another power, at a particular axis. So matching this glass takes a little skill form your optician. So we can do this by treating the patient with silicon plug, genetic engineering, and ciplox eye ointment as all these would have also treated the dryness of the eye.
