Is blurry vision in one eye accompanied by a headache something to worry about? According to content creator Jim Bostock, it could indicate nerve locks in the traps due to stress, insufficient stretching, and bad posture. To verify the truth behind this claim, we reached out to Dr Vinit Banga, director of neurology and head neurointervention, Fortis Hospital, Faridabad, who informed us that blurry vision in one eye accompanied by a headache could indeed be a sign of several underlying conditions, some of which may require immediate medical attention.“One of the most common causes is a migraine, particularly ocular migraine or migraine with aura. These headaches often present with visual disturbances such as blurred vision, blind spots, or flashes of light in one eye. Migraines can be triggered by stress, dehydration, certain foods, or hormonal changes,” said Dr Banga.Another possible cause is optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve. According to the expert, this condition can cause sudden blurred vision or vision loss in one eye, sometimes accompanied by pain during eye movement. “Optic neuritis is often linked to multiple sclerosis or other autoimmune diseases,” said Dr Banga.Also Read | Headaches in pregnancy: All you need to knowA more serious concern is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also known as a mini-stroke. “A TIA can cause temporary visual disturbances in one eye, along with other symptoms such as difficulty speaking or weakness in the limbs. A TIA is a warning sign that a full stroke could occur, so it requires immediate medical attention,” said Dr Banga.
