My wife actually complained that her glasses felt a bit off while she was binge-watching her favorite cooking shows! Hormones do weird things, including changing the fluid levels in your eyes. Just eat well, stay hydrated, and don't rush to get new expensive spectacles right away as it usually goes back to normal later.

I remember my vision getting slightly blurry during my second pregnancy, and I was so worried I would need stronger glasses forever. But my doctor assured me it was temporary, and indeed, a few weeks after delivery, my eyesight went completely back to normal. Don't worry too much about it.

Yes, water retention can temporarily alter the shape of your cornea. To support your overall eye health during this time, try incorporating vitamin-A rich foods like carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes into your daily vegetarian diet.

My wife had this, so we had to monitor her BP very strictly. Please get your blood pressure checked right away if you notice any major vision changes.
