I'm having eye issues. Like, my vision is just not what it should be. Just a general, slight blurriness, not specifically with close or far objects.
I know hormone changes can effect vision and therefore most eye doctors won't see you until a certain time postpartum. Any idea when that is?

Hmmm... I went to the eye dr when I was 21w preggers! Could your eyes be dry? I know my vision gets worse in the winter, and the eye dr said that was common.

I think they atleast want you to wait 6 months.

I had tons of eye issues when I was pregnant! in fact I had to quit wearing my contacts for the last 5 months of the pregnancy! I just went back to the eye doc for the 1st time since I went when I was 20 weeks pregnant with little man! you know what's really strange..... my eyes got better :hula: they went form a 2.75 - a 2.50 :hula: she said people can get better or worse after pregnancy just depends :)

6 months? If this keeps up I may lose my dang mind :hehe:. Hopefully it is just a hormone thing and clears up before then. It's bugging me.
