What Causes Cloudy Vision?
I have never had any real issues with my eyes, but lately I've had issues with clouding. It is especially bad in the morning, and sometimes takes quite a while to clear up. It's like looking through a piece of plastic wrap, i can see everything, it is just weirdly hazy. If i squint hard, it will go away for a few seconds, then gets way worse. What is wrong with my eyes? And please, don't simply suggest I see an optician. I have NO insurance right now (thanks Obama!), and won't have it in the foreseeable future either.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having cloudy vision in the morning and it clears as the day advances.
This is because of corneal edema because of accumulation of fluid in cornea in night and it clears in day because as the person opens eyes and fluid escapes because of evaporation.
The common causes are corneal dystrophies like Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy or chronic open single glaucoma.
Hence I advice you to consult ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
