What It Means and How Naturopathic Medicine Can Help | Dr. Wafaa Matti, NMD | Encinitas

If you’ve noticed that your vision feels fuzzy, unfocused, or inconsistent—especially when you’re tired, stressed, or experiencing other symptoms—it may be more than just eye strain. At her Encinitas clinic, Dr. Wafaa Matti investigates the full-body root causes of blurred vision, beyond what a standard eye exam may reveal.

What Is Blurred Vision?

Blurred vision refers to the loss of sharpness or clarity in sight. It can affect one or both eyes, appear gradually or suddenly, and vary throughout the day. Sometimes, it’s a sign of eye dysfunction—but often, it reflects deeper issues such as:

Possible Root Causes of Blurred Vision:

  • Blood sugar imbalance or diabetes
    (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, insulin resistance)
  • Thyroid dysfunction
    (can impact fluid retention, metabolism, and eye tissue)
  • Hormonal changes
    (during pregnancy, menopause, or with cortisol shifts)
  • Chronic inflammation or autoimmunity
    (such as lupus or multiple sclerosis)
  • Adrenal fatigue and stress overload
    (linked to cortisol surges and tension)
  • Medication side effects
    (especially antihistamines, SSRIs, or blood pressure drugs)
  • Migraines or neurological conditions
    (blurred vision may precede or follow a migraine)
  • Dry eyes, screen strain, or poor sleep

Dr. Wafaa’s Functional Approach

Instead of masking the symptom, Dr. Wafaa takes a whole-body diagnostic approach to discover why you’re experiencing visual changes. She may evaluate:

  • Blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity
  • Thyroid and adrenal hormone panels
  • Inflammation, nutrient levels (B12, omega-3s, zinc, A)
  • Gut function and liver detoxification
  • Nervous system regulation and stress patterns
  • Eye dryness, histamine response, and immune reactivity

🌿 Integrative Treatments May Include:

  • Nutritional therapy (B vitamins, lutein, omega-3s, magnesium)
  • Herbal or homeopathic remedies to calm inflammation or stress
  • Hormone balancing (thyroid, cortisol, reproductive hormones)
  • Detox support for liver and blood sugar metabolism
  • Mind-body practices to reduce screen-related fatigue or vagus nerve tension
  • Specialist referral if retinal, optic nerve, or neurological evaluation is needed

Empowered Vision, Naturally

If you’ve been told “your labs are normal” or “it’s just stress,” you deserve more clarity. Dr. Wafaa Matti takes blurred vision seriously as a signal from the body—and works to uncover and address the real cause.
