Pregnancy can affect a woman's eyesight

...Women who wear glasses may also notice changes in vision.

Fortunately, most women won’t require a change in prescription, and many find they can go back to their contacts once they have delivered or stopped breast-feeding.

Because of an increase in hormones, some women may notice changes in their vision including dry eyes, puffy eyelids that obscure side vision and sensitivity to light because of migraine headaches.

Some vision changes in pregnant women, such as blurred vision and seeing spots, may be signs of a more serious problem and should be discussed with a doctor immediately.
