If you’re experiencing problems with your vision, vagus nerve stimulation could help restore normal blood flow and reduce eye problems related to stress and anxiety. Find out how with Pulsetto’s latest informational piece.
When I would get stressed out as a little kid, my mother would always say, “You can’t see the wood for the trees”. I know she meant that I had to take a step back, take a deep breath, and see the bigger solution staring me in the face… But the problem is that, as I’ve gotten older (and even more stressed!), I've found that when I’m at my worst I can’t see anything clearly at all. And that’s not a metaphor. My vision literally blurs whenever my body gets too stressed out.
Thankfully, new research might be able to save me from blurred vision problems. The secret might be vagus nerve stimulation.

Vision changes, such as double or blurred vision, affect more than 800,000 Americans adults every year. It is one of the most common reasons people go to the emergency room; so we could all do with a safe, natural way to relieve our symptoms so that we can see clearly again!
Opticians report that vision changes like mine can often be related to stress, anxiety, or issues with blood flow. The good news is that all these symptoms have shown improvements with vagus nerve stimulation (or VNS) treatments during clinical trials.
As the longest cranial nerve in the body, the vagus nerve has responsibility for a number of the body’s automatic reflexes, including some aspects of your eyes’ functionality. When the vagus nerve is overstimulated or damaged this can lead to changes in blood pressure and heart rate. Wellness tech company, Pulsetto, recently linked these changes to having an indirect effect on the flow of blood to the eyes and surrounding muscles. Which means that calming the vagus nerve could create changes in your vision!
Pulsetto demonstrated that altered blood flow to the eyes or brain can lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, light sensitivity, or even temporary vision loss in some extreme cases. On the flip side, stimulating the vagus nerve was shown to improve overall well-being, which could include vision health. Which means a few short minutes spent doing some VNS could stop my vision from blurring every time I have a work deadline due!
Whilst the company stresses that VNS is “not a guaranteed fix” for vision issues, the research does show that the impact they have on the body can have an overall effect as part of a “holistic approach to health that can support the body’s natural healing processes”. Worth a try, no?
Stimulating the vagus nerve through low level electrical pulses has long been known to be the most effective way to affect the body’s fight or flight reflex; creating a more relaxed state that positively impacts digestion, stress, and anxiety. Which means that it is the best method to try for improving your vision problems too!
Pulsetto’s own vagus nerve stimulator is the best I’ve found. Comfy to wear around my neck, it leaves my hands free to select the best pulse pattern, accompanying music or guided meditation. After just a few sessions, I’m finding my body waaaay less stressed and I have managed to avoid the dreaded blurred vision thus far.
