My vision has been worsesing lately , i cant find an optomologist who gives me appropriate eye setting, whenever i get my glasses they are slightly unclear ..i also see alot of shapes and lines in my line of vision , sometimes colors , im worried a bit because i feel its worsesing and that im seeing alot of things colored while they are not, like white papers , texts, and seeing lines and shapes makes me distracted and worried that something is wrong , i know anxiety causes me migraines and viison problems and its nirmal but its still scary, can anyone share me their experiences and stories if they faced similar things, i need to know im not alone and that its gonna be fine, and also im not going crazy and start seeing hallucinations

I struggle with this daily. I get scared that seeing dots and such meant I was losing my vision. I have to remind myself everyone goes through this. And if there were anything to worry about, the optometrist would've told me.. and IF it did become something at least we caught it early enough to stop it from progressing. Hope this helps!

I mean i went to the eye doctor just a few months ago and i go regularly, he said everything is fine but he suspected that ..the medical term i think is keratoconus ..like its not serious but it might cntribute to seeing shapes , the not unclear vision, light disturbance, migraines etc..i never got ..he wanted ke to get an x ray of the retina but i never went because my insurance didnt cover it and it costs like 150 , and he said there is nothing serious besides that, so i never felt the need to go again, but all tests showed everything is fine , so im not sure what to do ..;(

I have exams and im afraid this can mess up my studying, make me lose focus, get migraines, tunnel vision etc...

Thanks for all the support, it helps ofcourse, i mean i did went to the doctor and everything seems fine , my left eye is the one that is blurry sometimes, but i just felt the symptoms worsening a but, like especially at night where light and seeing things make it look like theyre moving , or unclear, or there are lines, dots, shapes ..colors..anything , and when anything worsens its scary because i feel like im going crazy or losing my vision like you said

My left eye does that a lot to. It feels like the vision is off in it and it feels like a migraine but I never get the pain, I think it is a common anxiety problem. Night time is always worse as well, and I believe it is because there is not daylight to help us see. If you have the vision problem and it is nothing progressive and cannot lead to anything then I seriously would not worry.

I KNOW this is easier said than done.

Yes true but i appreciate the support i just needed reassurance because you know how the vrain can make you feel like you are in danger even though you are fine but its gard to convince urself so you need help :) again thank you ..i will focus on the fact that im fine and that this is due to the severe anxiety i had this year so far ..but im working on it and hopefully i will feel better soon
