For almost the past 9 months I have been having eye issues that dr's cannot expalin to me and I was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. My eyesight seems "off" certain patterns bother my eyes like rugs, grass, blinds etc. it makes me almost dizzy i also have this constant feeling of being stoned. Between my eyes hurts sporadically I had x-rays and they ruled out sinus issues and sinus meds dont do anything. I have bad eyesight to begin with and wear contacts when I switch to my glasses the feeling of being "high" increases and when I stand on my porch I feel really weird and uneasy. I have had multiple blood tests that have come out normal and have seen a neurologist who said she didnt think it it was neurological I just had an eye exam last year and other than my crappy eyesight they didnt notice anything.

An unusual problem with visual stress due to excessive contrast.
Try strongly tinted glasses. Might help.
Or see an optometrist who has "coloured overlays" to check for this disorder.

Yes, I would get checked for lymes and diabetes first - more comprehensive testing, and, of course, more expensive. I'm getting tested right now and they're charging me 1400 dollars for the test. That's lyme and co-infections. I'm sure it will come back negative, but I want to be sure just in case.
I think the main problem with doctors, is they just don't know very much. Patients often know more than doctors. It's not their fault, because there are so many diseases, that they can't be experts in everything.
So, I'm sure you went to an opthamologist, they checked your optic nerve for pressue, your eyes for pressure, and did all the standard tests, which came back negative. They may have even performed a peripheral vision test and a dye test.
If all that came back negative, that points to hormonal issues and problems with the visual cortex in the brain. This is the problem that I'm suffering with too. I have black veils over my eyes, I see patterns dance, ect.
So, I've been trying to figure out what this is as well. Mine is due to Post Finasteride Syndrome. - Ie taking propecia. We think this is a thyroid/adrenal problem. We think that it's due to low cortisol levels, and therefore low cellular metabolism/energy.
Check out Stop the Thyroid Madness for starters. It's a book and a website.
Hydrocortisone or Medrol might help your problem. Also, desiccated thyroid might help your problem.
