What this may relate to
A simplified example of distance blur
This type of effect may be associated with short-sightedness (myopia). With myopia, distant objects can appear blurred because incoming light focuses in front of the retina rather than directly on it.
If distant signs, faces or other far-away objects are becoming harder to see, an eye examination can determine the cause and whether your prescription has changed.
Educational simulation only. Eye conditions and vision problems affect people differently. These examples cannot reproduce exactly how an individual sees and cannot be used to diagnose an eye condition.

Your experience matters
Does this feel similar to what you notice?
These choices do not identify a cause.
Sudden changes, pain or other warning signs?
Select a sign if it applies. This stops the ordinary enquiry prompts and shows urgent-assessment information.
Sudden new flashes, a large increase in floaters, or a curtain/shadow in the vision can be associated with a retinal tear or detachment and should be assessed urgently.
A conversation is a useful next step
Does this feel familiar?
If this looks similar to what you notice, an eye examination may help clarify the cause.
