I woke up this morning and I could see perfectly, WITHOUT my contacts. I have been using glasses/contacts since I was 9. Is this normal? Has this happened to anyone else?

" I find that my eyes are affected by my blood sugars. When your sugars are higher, it causes pressure in the eye and the vision is blurry. There are some times when my sugars are so good that i can go without my glasses (i've had them for three years) and others when i can't see anything after 5 or 6 feet in front of me without them. With my bs levels doing pretty good, i generally only wear my glasses when i drive and can go without them at work and home. If i eat something higer in carbs, etc... my eyesight changes within the hour. Freaky, but true. Hope this helps. Deb :0) "

" Actually,I woke up a couple of times and noticed that my vision was markedly clearer without donning my glasses too.I've worn glasses ever since I was a teen,so it was pretty exciting.Unfortunately,as soon as my sugar spiked,I noticed blurred vision.If yours is long term,that's great.My suggestion is keep up the diet,or whatever you are doing,because it's working.Are you taking vitamins or anything differently?They have those vitamins that are supposed to support vision and I have actually wondered at their effectiveness.
