Blurred vision

Has anyone experienced blurred vision? When I put my hand over on each eye I see clearly. I can't drive at the moment. I vape and have had to stop just in case it was that causing it,however I've had it before I vaped. I'm calling my doctors in the morning. Any advice would be appreciated.
