Can Low Blood Pressure Cause Blurred Vision?

When your blood pressure is low, it means your heart isn’t pushing as much blood through your body as it usually does. This can happen, for example, when you stand up too quickly—a condition called orthostatic hypotension. When this happens, there is a temporary drop in blood flow to your brain and eyes, and you might see things as blurry or fuzzy. The eyes need enough blood to work properly and see details clearly. If the blood pressure drops suddenly, your brain and eyes might not get enough oxygen and nutrients for a short time, making your vision unclear until your body adjusts. If low blood pressure causes blurred vision often, or if you also feel very dizzy or faint, it is important to tell a healthcare professional. They can check if there is an underlying cause and help find a way to make you feel better.
