Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent episodes of sudden onset of blurred vision and you also give history of neuralgia and stiffening of joints of feet.
The symptoms of sudden onset of blurred vision require evaluation to rule out transient ischemia or amaurosis fugax.
The common causes are vascular problems of retinal arteries or carotid arteries, migraine....
Hence I advice you not to ignore these symptoms as these can occur in prodromal phase or sometimes may indicate a underlying systemic disease.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Do write to me the examination findings as told by your doctor so that I can advice you more accurately.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
