Changes in eyesight during pregnancy

[peanutter]

Yep, I had to get stronger glasses after DS1, and then weaker glasses after DS2!

I was told to wait 3 months post partum before getting the eye check though, as it could keep changing until then.

Thanks for all the help ladies.

After seeing the optometrist today my sight has deteriorated but not too badly. The main issue seemed to be the muscles in the eye have relaxed and got a bit lazy. So while for someone my age it should be immediate to focus from long distance to short distance and vice versa it was taking 5-10 seconds. So the delay is causing stress on the eye and creating headaches and building pressure behind the eyes.

So instead of getting some new glasses at this stage, have been given some exercises to do for 6 weeks to see if that helps then we will re evaluate.

Thought it may be interesting if anyone else is having the same kind of issues
