We’re sorry that you’re experiencing tunnel vision. This can be caused by medical issues, stress, or drug use. It might be best to consult with your doctor to get to the bottom of the issue.
Common medical issues that can cause tunnel vision include:
  • Diabetes
  • Concussions
  • Glaucoma
  • Optic neuritis
  • Retinal detachment
  • Strokes
  • Brain tumors
  • Retinitis pigmentosa
Tunnel vision is when your vision appears to be through a narrow tunnel. It obscures peripheral vision and “restricts your field of view**. Ultimately, it can impair your driving and is
extremely unsafe
.
Talking to your doctor might be the best way to resolve tunnel vision while driving. To prepare for other potential driving hazards, you need to make sure you’re protected with the best car insurance.
