Question: Can fasting affect eyesight?

When I fast, my vision becomes very weak, to the point where I can’t read labels and such on food packaging. Salt/snake juice, does seem to help a bit… but not completely. When I finish fasting and eat normally, vision goes back to normal. I do not wear eye glasses normally.

With me I get red bloodshots in my eyes and they become lighter as well, but indeed after the fast it becomes normal again. I am not sure if permanent damage is the case here.

Since there is so much water in the eyes, I wonder if that is why?

Interesting, I’ve read somewhere that not enough Omega 3’s, ie fats can affect the eyes, but Ive also wondered if it could be a blood sugar thing.

I have noticed at times my vision is a bit blurry when fasting. I’m curious to know if there are any remedies.

Interesting! Also happened to me for 1-2 days when I got somewhere between day 14 and 21 but went away shortly after! I thought I was just crazy, will check and do some research!

Good question!! Will look into it! Definitely experienced something wonky with my eyes between day 14 and 21 but my eyes are generally sensitive so didn’t realize it could be a fasting symptom! Went away quickly and never came back but was a bit strange! Forgot exactly, I think they felt dry or something

Its a blood sugar issue…your vision will fluctuate and eventually settle…
