About Distorted Vision
Distorted vision occurs when objects appear blurry, wavy, or bent, affecting how you see the world around you. This condition can be caused by various eye problems, but early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further vision complications.
Causes of Distorted Vision
Distorted vision can result from several factors, including:
- Refractive errors like astigmatism, myopia, or hyperopia
- Cataracts leading to cloudy lenses
- Macular degeneration, often age-related

- Retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy or macular edema
- Eye injuries or infections
Identifying the underlying cause is key to effective treatment.

Several forms of distorted vision exist, including:
- Wavy or warped vision (often due to macular issues)
- Double vision (diplopia)

Each type may point to a specific eye problem that needs medical attention.
