Low T and Eyesight

[DavidB (imported)]

Has anybody noticed any side effects of Low T on their eyesight. I am trying to figure out if the blury vision I have in the morning is related or not.

Mine is usually related to attending extra Masses and imbibing too much Canadian Communion Whisky. Other than that, I have noticed no impact. I would suggest a visit to the eye doctor.

Blurry vision, but only in the morning?

Sounds very odd to me. Never heard of it.

Have you had your blood sugar tested?

According to my eye doctor, the blurring of eyesight can be realted to how old you are. He said that after the age of 40 most people's eyesight begins to change due to aging of the eyeballs. That's why after age 40 I had to have glasses and after age 50 I went to bifocals because it was mainly my near sightedness...read that reading...was affevcted while my distance viewing was not affevcted. Now that I am even older, at my last checkuyp, I was told I am developing a cataract. These must run i my family. My dad and three brothers had them also. Sadly each of them are gone.

Mine is not at the stage for surgery yet...just the beginnings of a yellowing spot.

Hope this helps. Best bet is go for a good eye exam.

Translated from my eye doctor...

Your eyeballs need to maintain a certain pressure for them to remain healthy. This pressure is tested when you go in for an eye exam.

If you sleep face down, the weight of you head puts pressure on your eyes, and it takes from 30 to 60 minutes for your eyes to adjust after waking up. Most eye doctors, both optometrists and ophthalmologists know that sleeping face down is bad for your eyes, but sleep habits are not often changeable, so they don't talk about it much...

I suspect that you sleep face down with your face in a pillow. Is this true? If so, see if you can adjust your sleep habits, or talk to an eye care professional about protective eyewear for sleeping. The are kind of like eyepatches sewn together and worn like a blindfold.

Best of luck...

I was an optician for an ophthalmologist for several years. Pregnant women sometimes need a change in their glasses Rx at about the time that their hormones are swinging wildly, so a change in hormone level can cause blurry vision, but I wouldn't expect it to swing daily. Is the vision problem on first awakening and goes away as you get up and running? That can be a dry eye or low grade infection. Another more serious possibility is that it can be an early sign of diabetes. So only a doctor can diagnose.

Good Luck

As with many medical issues there can be many answers. For me, morning blurry vision was disagnosed to be dry eye. I am suppose to add special drops for dry eye several times a day. When I awake my eyes are moist and vision is blurry, and obviously after adding drops I have blurry vision but only for a moment or two.

But there could be a direct connection from your testicles to your eye balls that might cause blurry vision.

This is easy to diagnose.

If you squeeze your testicles real hard,

and if your eye balls water,

then you have wet eye blurry vision..

But if your eye balls pop out,

you have dry eye blurry vision.
