Dry Eyes Are a Frequent Cause of Blurred Vision
One of the most common causes of blurred vision is dry eye disease. Tiny glands lining your eyelids called the meibomian glands produce and store your body’s natural tear lubricant. These perfectly designed natural oils:
- keep the surface of your eye moist
- prevent your tears from evaporating
- maintain the protective tear film, which is a mixture of tears and these oils
Increasing age, certain medical conditions, and poor eye hygiene can cause your meibomian glands to stop working as well as they once did. As a result, your tear film becomes unstable, leaving dry patches on your eye’s surface. The tear film helps to focus light and contributes to how clearly you see. An unstable tear film, impaired meibomian gland function, or dry eye disease can all be causes of distorted vision.
Doctors recommend using a heated eye mask like Bruder’s Moist Heat Eye Compress daily to naturally and easily get your meibomian glands working again. Simply microwave for 10-20 seconds, and the reusable compress delivers the optimum temperature of moist heat for up to 10 minutes, keeping your eyes feeling refreshed, hydrated, and rejuvenated.
Blurry Vision? Dry Eye and Screen Time May Be to Blame
If you are experiencing blurred vision, you are not alone. In fact, blurry vision is very common—especially now that so many Americans are working from home or spending more hours in front of a computer or other digital device.
What Are Some Other Causes of Blurred Vision?
You can either have blurred vision in both eyes or just one eye. In severe cases, just a blurry right eye or blurry left eye may indicate a severe or life-threatening condition like a stroke that a medical professional should evaluate immediately.
Another cause of blurred vision, especially blurry vision in just one eye, is an eye infection or inflammation. Infection or inflammation can occur on the surface of your eye (keratitis), the surrounding mucus membrane (conjunctivitis or pink eye), or your eyelid (blepharitis or a stye). An eye injury, wearing your contact lenses for too long, or a foreign body in your eye can all cause these infectious or inflammatory eye conditions.
The easy-to-use Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress keeps your eyes adequately hydrated and lubricated so that they can better expel bacteria and other irritants. If you do develop an infection such as conjunctivitis or blepharitis, it is crucial to wash your hands thoroughly. Avoid touching the infected eye, and use Bruder hygienic eyelid cleaning wipes to wash away all debris, crust, and oils safely.
Styes and chalazions (infections of the eyelid or eyelid glands) usually occur in just one eye. However, both can cause swelling, inflammation, and fuzzy vision in the affected eye. Easy, at-home treatment with Bruder’s Moist Heat Single Eye Compress will speed healing time and relieve the pain that these everyday eyelid bumps cause. Adding in regular cleansing with Bruder’s Hygienic Eyelid Wipes and Eyelid Cleaning Solution work together to help reduce the chances that styes or chalazion will return and impair your vision again.
