Vision Problems During Pregnancy

Are you pregnant? Did you know that vision problems during pregnancy may signal other health problems? Blurred vision or seeing spots may indicate gestational diabetes or pregnancy induced hypertension, an increase in blood pressure that usually occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. Eclampsia and pre-eclampsia, caused by extremely high blood pressure, can cause eye hemorrhages and retinal detachment. Although these are not very common, it is important to be aware and take proper precaution.
