Default Dimness of vision

What causes it??

I seem to get it a lot lately. My vision dims so its like im wearing sunglasses in the house

It seems to sort itself out if i go to sleep.

Is it an exhaustion thingy or should i be worrying and going to GP???

Ive also noticed driving at night on dark lanes im almost always blinded by oncoming cars. Now is that just the fact everyones got the new generation headlamps or am i going night blind???

Any ideas?? Im hoping its tiredness and maybe vitamins or something simple!!

Get to an optician Warren - get it checked out properly rather than asking a load on here who will at best guess and probably take the piss !

I feel a GP visit coming on as best bet, hopefully something dead simple and cure.
If youare in a at risk group get free eye tests every year, ie diabetes in family, glaucoma etc, best get checked only get one set.

Bit of incorrect info there! you have to be of a certain age before you can get free eye tests due to a family member having glaucoma, i think its 40.

Then for diabetes your name probably has to start with an s and have a dog thats black and white before you qualify

I do appologise, you are right, having looked in me leaflets etc and me eye stuff from hospital, I get mine free due to having to be tested at the hospital 6 monthly as well as std eye tets in the high street, as you correctly said it's normally 40 years of age, if mum/dad etc has glaucoma.

Sounds like you may need glasses to me. My eyesight gets like that on country lanes when i need my contact lenses made stronger. Go see your optician.
