Most pregnant women experience vision changes during pregnancy, often with slightly closer vision, but only temporarily. Vision changes usually improve after giving birth.

What is the reason of this?

Due to the tremendous increase in the retention of bodily fluids when you are pregnant, your vision may change temporarily as your cornea can swell with excess water. This will probably not cause a drastic change in vision, but it may be significant enough to be noticed.

Tips

Don't freak out if you experience vision changes while pregnant, as it's very normal. Unfortunately, there isn't much to be done about the change, but your eyesight is very likely to return to normal after birth, so it's probably not worth buying new glasses. However, if the vision change happens too quickly or if the vision change is accompanied by a headache, you should notify your doctor and seek immediate medical attention if you experience complete vision loss.
