COPD and eyesight

I over exert sometimes and now after practically suffocating Saturday I woke up Sunday and my eyesight is worse. The letters and numbers on my phone turn very light and a white cloud goes over what I’m reading. Why? This has happened for days at a time then a little better. I know I have a cataract. Does lack of oxygen to the brain affect sight? I’m at least advanced COPD my doctor said : years ago.

  1. Hi . That must have been scary. Lack of oxygen can affect vision in a lot of different ways. Have you told your doctor what is going on? If you are not on nighttime oxygen already, that might be something to ask about. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
