One of the more common questions we read in our forum's is the following: can my sinusitis infection be causing problems with my vision? Absolutely, sinus problems can cause several different vision issues in different folks. Within our skulls there a four (4) different sinus regions and one on each side, left and right sides. The 4 sinus areas are the following: - Maxillary -located in the cheek area just under the eyes
- Ethmoid -located in between the eyes and the nose
- Frontal -located in the forehead just above the eyes
- Sphenoid -located behind the ethmoid sinuses, close to the center of the skull
As you can see in the description of the sinus locations, some are located closer to the eye area than others. A sinusitis infection can be located in any one or all of these sinus regions during the infection period. When the infection is located in either the ethmoid and sphenoid sinus area, it is most likely to affect your vision. In some occurrences, the person may either notice ablurriness in their visionor in some cases, they may encounterdouble vision. These symptoms are usually not long lasting in the majority of cases. There have been noted cases of ethmoid sinusitis causing a patient to loose movement of the eye; this is believed to be caused by an excessive pressure buildup on the optic nerve. Chronic sinusitis has in some rare cases formed abscesses in areas around the eyes and the brain from prolonged infections. This can also increase the chance of suffering some permanent eye damage if not remedied quickly by a medical professional.
