Blurred vision is a very common symptom of MS and is caused by Optic Neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve. Blurred vision can range from mild blurring through to a total loss of light perception - in other words, temporary blindness. See how other MSers have dealt with the problems of blurred vision.
