In fact, there are many changes that occur after giving birth. Yes, besides the presence of the baby, the mother is faced with changes in bodily functions too, you know. Some of them even experience vision problems after childbirth. Actually, what caused this to happen? Do you have to worry about changes after delivery?
Why is vision impaired after giving birth?
Changes in vision function can certainly be easily detected. Because the eye is one of the many organs that play an important role to help you see an object clearly. Whatever changes occur regarding your ability to see, not least after delivery, certainly makes you wonder about the cause.
A study published in the Journal of Pregnancy, states that indeed there will usually be a decline in visual function that starts from the second trimester of pregnancy. In fact, not infrequently, this condition can continue until you have finished giving birth.
1. Blurred vision
Changes in hormone levels, metabolism, blood circulation, and water retention in the body are some of the things that are common during pregnancy. The opportunity for one or several of these conditions to occur after childbirth is still quite large. That is why, some mothers complain of vision that seems blurred and unclear.
The reason is because after the labor process is complete, the retention of water in the eye canal will be hampered. The shape of the cornea will change due to thickening so that it causes decreased vision function after giving birth.
2. Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a complication in pregnancy due to increased maternal blood pressure. Although preeclampsia is generally experienced when the pregnancy has reached the age of 20 weeks, it is not impossible that the side effects of preeclampsia can arise after going through the process of childbirth.
In this case, not only organ damage can occur, you may find it difficult to see because the sensitivity of light captured by the eye decreases so that the vision is suddenly blurry. Preeclampsia requires proper treatment from doctors to prevent far more serious complications.
3. Pituitary adenoma
Pituitary adenoma, also known as a pituitary tumor, is a condition when the amount of hormones produced by the pituitary gland in the brain is far above normal. Even though it should, this part of the brain is responsible for maintaining the balance of hormones in the body.
Besides disrupting hormonal balance, this tumor in the pituitary gland will also affect your ability to see objects clearly.
4. Eyes out of focus
Robert DiMartino, OD, a lecturer in optometry from the University of California School of Optometry, said that pregnancy and childbirth factors can actually change your ability to see. This usually occurs when there is a bias error or the way the eye captures an object's image.
That is why the eyes tend to be difficult to focus on the target point of vision so that you suddenly complain that the function of vision is not as sharp as it used to be.
The safe way to treat decreased vision ability
You can breathe more easily now, because vision that seems less focused and clear after labor usually won't last too long. If it is felt to interfere with daily activities, you should immediately consult this condition with your ophthalmologist to immediately find the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
In fairly mild cases, your doctor may prescribe eye drops to relieve your vision problems. If you find that you have eye disorders, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmastime, then the use of eyeglass lenses can be the right choice.
However, if it turns out that triggering your vision to decrease is due to a particular disease, your doctor will certainly recommend a re-adjusted treatment based on your health condition.
