Can anemia cause blurry eyes?

Anemia is indeed a problem that many people have, especially for female friends. Because the body has menstruation every month, the anemia in women's bodies will be more obvious at this time. After anemia occurs, you need to supplement a lot of foods that help replenish qi and blood, so that the body's qi and blood can be restored to normal levels. But if a person is anemic, will it cause symptoms of blurred vision?

1. Anemia can cause blurred vision, because anemia means that the number of red blood cells in the peripheral blood is lower than normal. The function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen. When the number of red blood cells is reduced, the ability to carry oxygen decreases. The brain cannot get sufficient oxygen supply, and brain cell dysfunction will occur, so blurred vision will occur. Long-term anemia means that the optic nerve cannot get enough oxygen and nutrients, and the optic nerve function declines, which can also cause blurred vision.

2. In addition to causing blurred vision, anemia can also cause other symptoms such as pale complexion, dizziness, fatigue, tinnitus, forgetfulness, etc. If children suffer from long-term anemia, it may also cause growth and development disorders. Anemia in the elderly can easily induce heart disease and lung diseases, so if anemia occurs, it must be corrected in time.

3. Most patients with anemia will experience neurological symptoms such as headache, dizziness, memory loss, insomnia, and nightmares. It can also cause pale skin and mucous membranes, pale eyelids; general fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, which worsens after activity; abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms of indigestion. Generally, anemia does not cause blurry eyes. If the patient is an elderly person, further eye examination is needed to rule out eye diseases such as cataracts, ocular vascular diseases, etc. that cause blurred vision, to prevent missed diagnosis.
