      Lots of reasons. Sometimes it might be because we haven’t drunk enough water and we are dehydrated so our brains aren’t working as well as they can and cannot communicate as well with our eyes. We might be really really hungry too, or we might have a fever and they might make our vision go blurry. Sometimes damage to the back of our heads can too and the back of your brain controls eye sight. There are many reasons but it is usually to do with how the brain works with the eyes.

      There are a number of reasons this can happen…

      – your eyes are tired and cannot make your lens the right shape
      – your eyes are tired and cannot stay aligned with each other
      – there’s fluid on your eye distorting the image
      – you’re extremely dehydrated and the eyes’ shape is affected

      if your vision is persistently blurry you should see an optitian
