Causes of Vision Changes

- Aging: As we age, changes to the eyes and surrounding tissues can affect vision.
- Nutrient deficiencies: Deficiencies in nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids can affect vision.
- Chronic inflammation: Chronic inflammation can damage the eyes and affect vision.
- Environmental toxins: Exposure to environmental toxins, such as pollutants and heavy metals, can damage the eyes and affect vision.
- Diabetes: Diabetes can affect blood flow to the eyes and damage the retina, leading to vision changes.
Treatments for Vision Changes
Functional medicine approaches to treating vision changes involve identifying and addressing the underlying causes of the condition. Some common treatments include:
- Nutritional supplements: Supplements such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids can help address nutrient deficiencies and support eye health.
- Lifestyle modifications: Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress-reduction techniques such as meditation and yoga can help improve overall health and support eye function.
- Environmental modifications: Reducing exposure to environmental toxins and pollutants, and using natural cleaning products can help prevent eye damage and support eye health.
- Acupuncture: Acupuncture can help improve circulation to the eyes and support eye health.
- Medications: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or prevent further vision loss.

Lab Test
Blood Tests
Diabetes is one of the most common public health diseases, caused by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. With GetTested’s Diabetes Test HbA1c, you can get a comprehensive view of your blood sugar levels over an extended period, which can indicate your risk for type-2 diabetes. This test measures your long-term blood sugar (HbA1c), reflecting your blood sugar levels in recent months, unlike a glucose test that provides a more immediate snapshot.
For continuous monitoring of your blood sugar levels, we recommend our Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which provides real-time data and a detailed overview of your glucose levels over a 2-week period. We also offer a Diabetes Test (Glucose & Ketone), a rapid test that measures both glucose and ketones, giving you immediate results to further support diabetes management and prevention.
Lab Test
Saliva Tests
GetTested’s Cortisol Test measures bioavailable and free cortisol on seven occasions during a day. Cortisol is released in response to physical or mental stress. Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol boosts physical and mental performance under short-term stress. However, consistently high cortisol levels can harm your health, while too low levels can also be problematic. This test is particularly useful for individuals experiencing chronic stress, fatigue, or other stress-related symptoms.
Additionally, DHEA, another hormone influenced by stress, is commonly measured alongside cortisol for a comprehensive hormonal assessment. Our DHEA Saliva Test can further enhance understanding of your stress response and hormonal balance.
