Many of us have experienced the feeling that there isn’t enough hours in the day.  Whether it’s work deadlines, projects, errands or taking care of the family, the busy schedules can cut into our sleep hours.  It is quite apparent how sleep can affect our ability to focus and other motor skills along with our health, but did you know that sleep deprivation can also affect your vision?

Ophthalmology department at Mayo Clinic, USA reported findings that the continued lack of sleep or poor irregular sleeping patterns can also lead to blurred vision and eye vexation

Other problems include:

• Ischemic optic neuropathy (a vascular optic nerve lesion)
• Loss of vision in a single eye after waking up
• Papilledema (Swelling of the optic nerve)
• Vision Deterioration

There will never be enough hours and there will always be an endless list of things to do, remember that your health comes first and get that much needed shut eye!
