It can happen.. Faleshia..am so sorry to hear of your vision problems.. hope u will check it out at the doctor and maybe its a simple procedure or surgery as I had to have to correct your vision to make it well again... keeping u in my daily prayers... my friend... let me know what is going on please... with luv from the "Sweetheart" in Hawaii on vacation..
