Have you seen an ophthalmologist? If not, you might consider doing that.

An eye specialist. They deal with various forms of vision problems that are complications from medical conditions including any affiliated with CKD.

I have had fuzzy sight problems for years and have thought it’s glare or maybe just my sight getting worse due to age.

At my last eye appointment my opthamalogist said i have the eyes of a 60-something person. Im 80.

Ive made an appointment with a neurologist since i wonder if it might be that my brain is not processing correctly.

I know i have lowgrade leukoaraiosis and wonder if it’s all related.

My gfr is 47 and everything except creatinine is ok so ???

I dont know about you obviously but perhaps you should explore more options ???

Hi Hardrock. I agree with everyone here that is recommending a visit to your eye doctor. Your eyesight fuzziness could be anything - including those things such as cataracts that often pop up in the later years due to years of sun glare, injuries incurred along the way, etc. Pay the doctor a visit. Solving mysteries is a good thing to do.

Not what you're looking for?
