l understand that only a true eye doctor can give a real diagnosis, but I'd love to hear what you guys think.
Everything that my fiance sees through his right eye is blurred like he needs glasses. Only thing is, that is his only symptom.
A Wal-Mart doctor tried to tell him that he had Keratoconus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus ) many years ago, but l would think they are not in the right to diagnose that really...not having the right equipment and school. So, we are taking him in a few weeks to get him diagnosed. He has not gotten any worse and he feels like he only needs glasses. His eye is nothing compared to this. Blurry vision in one eye is the only symptom. He can still use that eye and make out things, but reading is hard for him through that eye.
He is trying to get in the Army, but they wo not even hardly look at his eyes since that is on his record. He made a 96 on the ASVAB!
Tell me what you guys think. Thanks! His eye looks normal, no smudges or anything visible to the naked eye.

It might be a cataract. They're little smudgy spots on the eye that make your vision blurry. He should see an eye doctor and if that is the problem, they can probably do surgery to remove it.

It could a number of different things. He could be nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatic, Keratoconus, or combination of those. There is no way to know without an eye exam.

A vast range of possibilities. A simple Rx error: nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatic. Keratoconus, which would include a refractive error, but is more complex than that.. Amblyopia, cataract, old choroditis (toxoplasmosis, toxocariasis), retinal coloboma, drusen of the optic nerve head. And that is not a complete list.
The simple refractive error is the most likely but short of an examination nothing is excluded.

Wal Mart optometrists would be able to diagnose keratoconus, so it is quite likely the diagnosis.
There are hundreds of conditions that could cause blurred vision. The only way to find out is to have an eye exam.
BTW, many of the eye conditions that could cause blurred vision would have that as the only symptom and the eye would look normal to a lay person.
