Hello sir, thanks for consulting HCM. Infection of your tooth does not affect vision or eyesight in any manner. It is a misconception that tooth infection affects eyesight. from the complaints that you have mentioned, it suggests that your wisdom tooth is infected. Removal of the tooth at the earliest is suggested. Kindly consult your nearest dentist and undergo extraction after getting a radiograph of the tooth alongwith antibiotics to treat infection. Get well soon
