Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having macular degeneration.
This is the cause for your blurred vision.
Macular degeneration requires evaluation to find out the type, if it is wet macular degeneration it requires treatment by laser or intravitreal injections of anti vascular endothelial growth factors and if it is dry one it requires use of antioxidant drugs to prevent further progression.

Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
