Vision and Eye Issues

We're curious if others living with obesity also struggle with eye or vision issues.

Some people report symptoms like blurry vision, double vision, eye fatigue, or even difficulty seeing at night.

Have you noticed any changes in your eyes or vision that seem related to obesity? Please share your experiences!

  1. Thank you, but the battle is far from over. Thank you also for the information!

  2. While I'm no longer considered obese, I am still overweight. I have noticed eye problems, although it never occurred to me that it could be because of my weight. I'll have to bring it up with my doctor.

    1. Hi . Congratulations on your weight loss! Did you struggle with obesity for a long time? I hope the fact that you are no longer obese has lessened the risk of vision problems for you. Here is a study from the National Institutes of Health that you might find interesting: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11074037/. The study might help you have a better conversation with your doctor. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
