Hi there. Large changes in blood sugar can absolutely cause changes in vision. Often this is temporary until things settle down. It is best to not change anything regarding prescriptions until your sugars have been stable for a while.

It's entirely possible that your T2D unfortunately went undiagnosed for some time. To go with what @chalup has said, if you were undiagnosed for some time, then your BG levels will have been elevated which could have had an impact on your vision.

Same thing happened to me, went from -2.75 to -1.75 now +2. It was the first thing that alerted me so I went to the optician and he said it as a sign of diabetes and to go to the doctor. Am on 2 metformin and have to increase to Four metformin but the third tablet has upset my stomach, anyone else suffered similar symptoms? Thanks

Hi ebbie56 and welcome to the forum. Ask your doctor for the extended release metformin if your stomach issues persist.

My eyesight got better too after receiving treatment for my Diabetes. For the last year or so I have needed reading glasses but after two or three months of healthy eating, metaformin and a bit more exercise my eyesight has returned to normal again. It was a really nice surprise when that happened but afterwards I read up a little on it and it seems its not that uncommon for people who get their sugars down.
