    anxiety can cause many probs...it can cause dizzyness...blurry eyes and floaters/shadows.it can raise bp and sugar...I know about anxiety and have helped many people...breath deeply and try keep calm everyone sees shadows blobs etc when you close your eyes or when they are ok....try not to worry too much.....

    Hi Zach

    I have PVD (floaters) too - a big (Weiss ring) one. They can do different things on different days and move / appear in different areas i have found. I have also noticed an oily type film (especially when blinking alot - that is all part of the vitreous gel breaking up. hopefully it all settles down one day (floats to the bottom of the eye and doesn't interfere with vision. take care
