Blurry vision during or after dialysis is something other MyKidneyDiseaseTeam members have experienced, so you're definitely not alone in this.

Dialysis can cause fluid shifts and pressure changes in the body, which can affect the eyes. When kidneys aren't working well, fluid can build up and lead to very high blood pressure, which is a known cause of sudden blurry vision. Since you mentioned it's worse today, that's worth taking seriously. Sudden or worsening blurry vision can be a warning sign of something that needs prompt attention. Watch out for these additional symptoms that signal you should seek care right away:

- Floaters (dark shapes or lines in your vision)
- Flashes of light
- Loss of side (peripheral) vision

Please reach out to your healthcare team as soon as possible, especially since it's getting worse. It's always better to flag these changes early — your eyes will thank you! 👀
