Blurred vision in one eye can be a symptom of a focal seizure originating in the occipital lobe, which processes vision. Focal seizures in this area of the brain can cause visual disturbances like blinking, hallucinations, or complete loss of vision. The exact origin of a seizure is best confirmed through an EEG test. There are many potential underlying causes, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumors, infections, genetic abnormalities, and more. Determining the cause can help guide treatment decisions.

There are 2 possibilities for Blur visions .

1. The most come possibility is you’re experiencing a side Effectfrom the medication.
Check www.drugs.com . They should have information on the side effect of the medication(s) you’re on .

The second possibility is that it maybe a form of a seizure. But it would have to be proved by an EEG , before knowing that it’s a seizure.

Only thing I can I can think of close to that is anxiety attack or panic attack if you will because they cause multiple symptoms even I've had one that did multiple stuff and that was one of them so you might have been in the start of it I'm not sure. Probably be best to talk to an eye doctor to be certain though.
