Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision In Left Eye And Hearing Loss In Left Ear
Question: Hi, I have unusual symptoms on my left side of my head. I had PVD in September in my left eye. Now I have a blurry vision in my left eye, left ear doesn't hear well and even teeth on the same side are sensitive. There is a sensation of some pressure in the ear and some emptiness on the left side of my face. Thank you
Brief Answer:
Read below.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Judging from that description of your symptoms the most likely cause seems to be an ear issue, most likely an infection. It typically presents with the symptoms of impaired hearing, pressure sensation which can radiate to the face and teeth on that side.
There is one symptom which is not that typical which is the blurry vision, but since the middle ear is connected to the upper airways it is not uncommon for there to be an associated sinus inflammation which can lead to the blurry vision (can contribute to the face and teeth sensations as well).
So I suggest you get checked by your primary physician or an ENT specialist for signs of ear and/or upper airway infection. If my suspicion is confirmed treatment may range from decongestants to a course of an antibiotics.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
