Woke up with it today, left eye is normal, right eye is all blurry and has been all day. Any ideas what it might be, I'm getting a bit worried now.

Don't mess around - straight to doctors or ideally opticians...I don't hang about when it comes to eyesight problems, especially if you wear contact lenses, - it is probably a simple, easy to sort infection, but its not worth taking the chance.

Doctor. Especially after that parasite thing on last night... bloke had exactly the same symptoms, turned out he had amoebae living in his cornea!

Obviously get yourself to an optician if it's not gone by tomorrow or you're still worried, BUT:

I've had this happen several times, usually when I've been feeling stressed - I just wake up with fuzzy vision in one eye which persists all day, but is completely OK again by the next morning. I've had lots of routine eye and contact lens checks since and nothing untoward has ever been found.

too much "pop" can cause that problem, regardless of the flim-flam you hear in here - go see an eye-cutter..

You should visit an optometrist. An optician is trained for testing eyesight and prescribing corrective lenses. Some are qualified for contact lens fitting too.

However an optometrist is qualified to assess all aspects of eye health, diseases, conditions etc. He/she will know more than a GP about eye health. If they decide it is something which may need corrective surgery at some point, then you need to be referred to an opthalmic surgeon.

Don't delay, visit an optometrist asap. One doesn't appreciate good vision until it becomes impaired.
