Hi there,
Blurred vision that is correctable by a prescription may be able to be corrected by contact lenses. To really know you would need to get a comprehensive eye exam. Blurred vision can also be caused by many other reasons, such as systemic conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, etc., or other ocular conditions. So, it varies, but an exam will be able to see what is causing the blurred vision.

If you are only experiencing blurred vision only sometimes, there is likely another cause for the blurriness. You should get your eyes checked.
There are many reasons for "blurred vision." Contacts or glasses fix or improve blurred vision if it is due to a refractive error such as myopia (near sighted), hyperopia (far sighted), or astigmatism. An appointment with an eye care specialist, ophthalmologist or optometrist, for an eye exam will determine why you have blurred vision.
It all depends upon because of the blurred vision. If it actually is because of a need for glasses then usually contact lenses will work just fine. But it could be also from staring at the computer for too long. The only way to tell all of this and that it is not some disease is by seeing your eye care provider.
Depends on the cause of the blurred vision. You need to see an eye care professional to determine why you’re having the blurred vision first.

Depending on the cause. But some conditions causing blurred vision need medical attention. A patient needs to see an eye MD and determine the cause of the blurred vision.
Depends on the cause of the visual loss. A complete evaluation will likely help diagnose the correct etiology.
