Definition
The blurred or fogged sight is a rather common symptom, the result of several possible causes of origin. The term summarizes the perception of a poor clarity to the vision of objects, with an inability to perceive the small details; in medical terms, blurred vision reflects loss of visual acuity.
Blurred vision can also arise suddenly, in normal situations; sometimes precedes the episode of fainting
