Suggest Treatment For Distorted Vision
Question: When I wake up my vision is distorted. I will see objects in different places. I will see a box that had been on the floor now hanging from the ceiling. My bed is on its side. The doorway is slanted. Pictures on the wall are sideways or in different positions. Within 3 seconds everything returns to normal. What is wrong?
Brief Answer:
Eyes secretions, conjunctivitis to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
A possible explanation of your distorted vision on waking up is having some dried out tear secretions floating around on the surface of the eyes.
Other conditions that may seek Ophthalmologist's evaluation are conjunctivitis, astigmatism.
If the issue was noticed only once, there is no need to worry about.
If distortions in vision repeats, get evaluated by an Ophthalmologist.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind Regards.
