  I am afraid pregnancy can affect your vision and make them hurt by changing hormones level, retenting fluid and blocking blood circulation. Take water retention as an example, it will thick and curve the cornea slightly resulting in eye problems based on individual sensitivity. Internal changes aside, pregnancy is along with the changes in existing eye conditions, particularly for some people with diabetes. They may suffer diabetic retinopathy due to damage of the blood vessels in retina. Furthermore, some diseases will progress to malignant diseases, like glaucoma, so you need to consult with your doctor and adjust your medication.
