Marcus Forman, Roanoke, VA

A. Yes, changes in your blood sugar levels can affect your vision. Over a period of days or weeks, your vision's focus may vary due to a swelling or thinning of your natural crystalline lens. If you your focus fluctuating, take note of changes in your A1C levels. You may need to see your eye doctor for prescription glasses or a change in your prescription if you already have glasses.
