When you become anxious, your body undergoes a series of both mental and physical changes in order to protect you from potential danger. Common physical symptoms of anxiety include changes in your heart rate, breathing, and even vision. This includes, in some cases, developing blurred vision. Anxiety is a normal human emotion, one that’s been hardwired into us for hundreds of thousands of years. Blurred vision is defined as a loss of focus and sharpness in one’s eyesight that makes it difficult to see objects clearly. Blurred vision is most often associated with “nearsighted” or “farsighted” vision and is commonly treated with corrective lenses. But there are other underlying causes of blurry vision that have nothing to do with the strength of your eyes. Although anxiety isn’t a common cause of blurred vision, there may be some link between anxiety and blurry vision. In order to understand why anxiety might cause blurred vision, it’s important to first understand what happens in the body when you become anxious. When you become anxious, a response known as the fight, flight, or freeze response kicks in. During this response, the body undergoes a variety of physiological changes due to the release of two primary stress hormones, adrenaline, and cortisol. These stress hormones cause you to experience changes in blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and more. Generally, your vision actually becomes sharper when you’re anxious rather than blurrier. This is because the stress response improves your vision to help you more easily identify threats. But there may be a few reasons why some people experience blurred vision when anxious. When your stress response kicks in, your heart starts to race, your blood pressure rises, and your movement can become quicker as you scan for threats. If you’re moving faster than usual, you may notice that it’s hard to focus on things around you. Trouble focusing on your environment can often trigger the illusion of blurred vision. Research has shown that anxiety may be also associated with an increased risk of dry eyes. Dry eyes are a well-known cause of blurred vision, so it’s possible that anxiety may indirectly cause blurry vision associated with dry eyes. But this symptom is more common in those with chronic anxiety and stress rather than acute anxiety.

For example, people who are frequently anxious may have trouble taking care of their needs, like drinking enough water or eating enough food. Not being able to keep up on our basic needs may cause issues like dehydration, another common cause of blurred vision. In people with anxiety disorders, chronic anxiety may also be linked to other chronic health conditions that can impact vision. For example, long-term anxiety can increase the risk of high blood pressure, which can lead to a condition called hypertensive retinopathy. Retinopathy and other chronic health conditions that may be associated with anxiety can also cause blurry vision. But even though these connections can potentially be made between anxiety and blurred vision, it’s still uncommon for anxiety to be a primary cause of blurry vision. In fact, there’s only been one research article published recently on the potential link between anxiety and visual diseases. In a study from 2018, researchers investigated the link between mental stress and vision loss. Researchers reviewed the available studies on the two-way relationship between stress and vision — including whether stress can cause visual diseases and whether visual diseases can increase mental stress. Results of the study found that higher anxiety levels were associated with an increased risk of conditions like glaucoma and dry eye syndrome, both of which can cause blurred vision. According to the researchers, this may have something to do with the impact of stress on the vascular system. Ultimately, although anxiety may cause some people to experience blurred vision, much of the evidence to support this connection is anecdotal, and more research is still needed.
