Can Red Eye And Sinus Infection Cause Vision Problems?

Once in a great while when I walk into a very dark movie theatre I notice I a slight problem focusing on the floor lighting that guides me to my seat...It happened a couple of times,(however other times it did not happen)... Last year I had red eye and a mild sinus infection. I ve even felt a little nauseas. However, I don t have a problem driving at night.. I m 44 years old and have been wearing contacts/glasses since I was 12.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having vision problem in the form of difficulty in focussing while seeing.
Red eye and sinus infection does not lead to this problem.
This is seen in refractive errors, since you are having refractive error I advice you to consult your optometrist or ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
