Does the depression/anxiety affect the vision sometimes?

[Bluetj]

My vision some times seems to be a bit off, does anyone else experience this?

[Sprinkle1]

Yes I have found it made my eyes blurry at times. I have an appt. to see my eye Dr. next month - hopefully - it has been changed 3 times due to the virus. Try to relax, use some good quality eye drops, I find those a help. Be sure and wear sunglasses when out. Sending peace and love with big hugs.....Sprinkle 1....

Yes, its like one minute I am seeing just fine, the next minute things are blurry. I just seen the eye doctor a month or so ago in which at that time it was not doing this. Should I be worried?

My doctor recently told me this because my anxiety has gotten worse and I started seeing spots. Im gonna make an appointment with the eye doctor like Sprinkle1 said and hopefully all goes well. Good Luck ❤️

[Bluetj in reply to FindingTree]

OMG, please do not tell me that. I don't see spots but my vision sometimes get blurry. I don't know what to do. I just saw the eye dr. a couple of months ago and it wasn't doing this.

[FindingTree in reply to Bluetj]

It could also be due to stress. I’d let the eye doc know and try to relax.

I see that too ^ just like when u get up and get so light headed you see those sane spots

[FindingTree in reply to cynira]

I hate when that happens

I had blurred vision too. Nothing wrong with my eyes, just a symptom of anxiety and disappeared.

[Bluetj in reply to Beevee]

Thx, such relief. Hopefully that's my case.

[Beevee in reply to Bluetj]

If it’s intermittent then in all probability it is stress related. It was one of my early symptoms which spooked me and went for eye tests. The problem sorted itself out when my anxiety decided to focus on something else and diverted my attention.

I have, it happens a lot especially with tension headaches

[Want2BHappy3]

Possibly? Have you had an eye exam? The doctor could answer that for you.

Hi Bluetj,

Check the side effects of meds you are taking. Some are known to cause eye problems and doctors can miss this.

Also if a medicine is very drying and you do not adequately hydrate, that causes eye problems also.

When my blood pressure went up it did affect my vision. And a lot of that bp issue was anxiety related. Changed my diet, still needed some meds help to bring it down to a point where I could do even more. It has been good for a while now, though I can tell my glasses are scratched up.

Me too its the worst and yup tension headache too. It throws everything off. Gets blurry gets spots then things look weird its just scary. I don't wish anxiety on anyone but it goes away its just exhausting. I didnt go out at all today because of it and when i did finally i had a full blown attack with numbness. Normally I would have been at the ER but i have experienced it so many times. Hope it gets better drink plenty of water. A glass of red wine helps too time to time.

[anon99]

Absolutely. Then I’ll do this weird annoying thing where I close each eye and test my vision to see how blurry it is. Sometimes I have to squint, other times I see just fine. I’ve noticed it’s definitely worse when I’m stressed or subconsciously anxious about something.
