Many eye and vision problems may arise as a result of pregnancy. The most common is a shift in glasses prescription, which can be the result of hormonal increase or a shift in fluid. Most often this change in prescription will return to normal following delivery.
Other eye and vision changes during pregnancy may be due to hypertensive or diabetic retinopathy or physiological changes to the surface of the eye. Please seek care immediately if you or someone you love is experiencing severe vision problems or atypical headaches during pregnancy as these may be signs of more serious disease.
