Feeling a little scared now...

Just noticed that visions been getting worse lately.  Today it seems like I'm looking through frosted glass, especially on my left eye.  I hope it's nothing serious.  They told me about two years ago I had a small cataract forming in one of my eyes... maybe that's it, I don't know.

Man, I hope I'm not going blind or something.

Best wishes to you. As an unqualified layman, I suspect cataract matches your symptoms. Get to the eye doctor and have it checked out. 
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

Cataracts are also very treatable.

I don't know what it is, for some reason, hours later it cleared up and my vision is now back it's normally "crappy but non foggy" state.  Gonna try to see the doc this week.  How I'll pay for it is another mystery, but still...

Do you notice it more at night than during the day? Or do you find it coincides with when you check your texts or look at a tablet or computer screen, and then try to look across the room, or read up close? About a year ago I was getting a sort of foggy vision that concerned me because I've always been lucky with my eyes (and teeth) and I noticed it seemed to tie into the way I was forcing my eyes to focus close up on a bright screen at night, and the light would mess up my pupils and make it tough to see clearly across a room, or sometimes even to read close up. I found when I quit using tablets at night (or dimmed them very low) it helped a whole lot.

Shrug, might be worth seeing if that helps you. Good luck!
