What Causes Vision Problems After Being In Pool?
Our 5.5 years old boy was swimming in a pool today and suddenly got scared by not being able to see for a moment, saying: I can see only shapes...Sometimes he blinks a lot and rubs his eyes, saying that he can see everyting just fine and has no pain...

Hello. I just read through your question.
Chlorine contained in pools can often cause visual disturbances when it comes in contact with the surface of the eyes. this effect resolves on it's own after a few hours and is nothing to be concerned about. It can be prevented by either wearing goggles or not opening the eyes while under water.
