Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Yes high blood pressure medications especially diuretics and betablockers can cause blurred vision.

If you were my patients I would stop diuretics and betablockers for a couple of days to see any improvments. This will definitely confirm that your symptoms are related to medical treatment.

Wish you health!
