Are these Vision symptoms just anxiety?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi, I am 16 year old girl and have had anxiety and ocd for about 4 years. About a year ago i started obsessing about my vision again ( in past i obsessed over „double vision" or like this ghosted vision) and this time i started noticing a lot of spots and dots firstly i also saw visual snow, but i do not really notice it anymore and also saw BFEP. I went to an eye doctor and she said everything looked good.This constant obsession over it lasted for a few months and then i had a new ocd theme and still sometimes saw the dots, but not as much. Two weeks ago i again started noticing these visual symptoms especialy the BFEP (which is these white moving dots which you see on blue surfaces like sky) exept i see thousands of them but not only on the sky but on anything that is bright ( even the rode or my hands when it is sunny) and it has been driving me crazy. Does anyone else experience this and could it be just from anxiety?

not to worry. those spots that you see can definitely be caused by anxiety.and stress and worry about them can increase the amount that you see. I have had those spots on and off for many many years. I am 100% convinced that mine or due to long-term anxiety and stress.
They’re not harmful. After a while, I ignored them and didn’t notice them anymore. only if i looked at the sky . Even if they were there, the brain tunes them out after a while. So please try to relax. Relax your mind.
The doctor said that there was no concern. The main thing you want to do is reduce your anxiety. get yearly eye exam like everybody should do anyway. Take care.
