9. Blurred Vision – A Visual Disturbance
Blurred vision in DIC is a symptom that can point to various underlying issues, including eye involvement in the disease process. It’s a symptom that should prompt further investigation.
This visual disturbance can be due to blood clots in the retinal vessels or bleeding within the eye. Both of these are direct consequences of the clotting and bleeding imbalance in DIC.
Blurred vision is significant because it can indicate both local issues in the eye and systemic problems related to DIC. It’s a symptom that can affect daily life and warrants careful evaluation.
Addressing blurred vision involves treating the underlying DIC and any specific eye-related complications. This might include therapies to improve blood flow to the retina or treatments for any bleeding within the eye. (9)
