I was recently diagnosed with hepatitis D, diabetes, and since my latest hospital stay, my vision is going through periods of blurriness that I have never experienced before. Not only the conditions, but the medicine have really effected my ability to work. I have recently returned to work, a job which I do love, after a month of a medical leave. I do not feel quite up to returning to my routine. I have taken steps to improve my health including diabetes education classes, changes in diet and riding six to eight miles/day on my bicycle. I have noticed, in addition to the blurry vision, Ive had stomach issues and chest pains. This includes strange coughing spells. I just want to return to my normal life. What can I do? Do you think I should apply to some sort of temporary disability until I can get everything straightened out?
Swings of hyperglycemia in Diabetes may alter the refractory index of the lens and may cause variation in acuity of vision. Check your blood sugar levels. See an ophthalmologist.
