I'm in a strong denial state lately. My Husband keeps telling me I'm switching a lot, but I refuse to believe it cause I feel in complete control. But today I had a crazy experience - my vision went completely blurry as I started talking to one of my employees. It felt like almost 5 minutes before I could really see straight. I couldn't even see enough to take a step down the stairs!! I'm wondering if I had a hard switch when I started managing the employee . . .
Has anyone else had these major blurry vision incidents?

I did have it during the holidays 3 years ago, I had to sit down and everything went extremely blurry, after a while I could only sit down and trust my other senses. For as far as I remember, I managed to find a seat without being able to see it myself, but I don't know if I did that because of my memory of the seat being there or with help of any of the alters.
My vision went from good to blurry to nearly nothing. While it was blurry it lookes like this:

after that it got worse and I couldn't see anything, and a few minutes later everything got okay again
We are no longer here

Yes! That's exactly what happened! I could talk just fine and I'm sure I looked fine. But I couldn't see anything in focus for several minutes. This has happened to me several times and I'm hoping it's just a DID thing and not something else.

This happens to me all the time. It is a DID symptom.

I don't get that bad, but I do have a fog in front of my vision, it gets better or worse depending how much I'm dissociating, but it's always there.

This happens to me too. It is nice your husband knows the symptoms and can recognize them in you.
Just realized this is a very old post but yes i can relate

Definitely experience blurry vision when I become more dissociated, switch or no.
But a number of us also have slightly different prescriptions, so sometimes if I am co-con with somebody else and as they slip closer to the Front our vision blurs because we're still wearing my glasses not theirs.
Really the differences in prescription are minor, not very pronounced at all. But we've seen a big improvement in our quality of life through wearing individual prescription lenses.
