Sudden blurry vision

Just came back from holiday and noticed that my vision is really blurry.
I wear long and short distance glasses but was always able to read a letter/paper without glasses too.

Yesterday I picked up something with a small letter and could not read it. And just now I've noticed that I can just about read my whatsup messages. I mean I can but they are noticeable blurry.

Can this wait until tomorrow or should I go to A&E?!
I have no other symptoms

That would be fine they could check as well

Just got back - new stronger prescription!

Optometrist was very thorough, I told her all my concerns but she was convinced it was all due to my eyes being too strained. I am going back tomorrow for a field test anyway.

Thank you all for your advise!

Glad it went well. I have to go back too for eyedrops. The tests do always seem to be more thorough and in depth each time I go. But maybe that's just cos my eyes are getting worse!!
