Minor Health Issues especially vision, any advice?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello there I been having minor health issues for four years and a little bit more that's also increasing and I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice for me which would be much appreciated!

I am 19 years old chinese male and also vegetarian.

I've seen the doctors before on separate occasion for separate cases (blood was taken every time) such as for just bladder problem (got told I just had to retrain my bladder) and not very helpful. I've went to see the opticians 2 years about my vision problems thinking it was a prescription issue since my vision problems started around the same time I got a new prescription 4 years ago. Which didn't help so I went to see the opticians again but they couldn't see anything wrong with my eye so they referred me to the hospital which I saw opthamology and orthoptics.

The orthoptics basically just had me look through coloured overlay sheets and opthamology just done usual eye test. They said I'll get a further appointment couple of months later which I found out I didn't get one so it was then arranged and I saw a different opthamologist which was quite brief basically an exchange of words of what vision problems I have, done the usual eye test and said it could be because of my short sightedness and nothing can be done. The next appointment was made which was a extremely brief exchange of words which I got is that nothing can be done again although I did get another appointment to look at the retina which is another several of months in between again.

I also paid to see a visual stress clinic (they stated in the emails that my vision problems could be visual stress) in between the time seeing the opthamologist thinking it would be a lot better but just looked through colorimeter and colour lens to see what was better and got a blue gray tinted glasses prescribed which didn't really help.

My main concern right now is my vision as it is really necessary. I've been scraping by work but I can't really keep going on like this, I feel really incapacitated.

2 years I wasn't feeling too well in another country which I think I had a X-ray of head, blood test, spinal tap and EEG. They couldn't see anything.

These are the symptoms that I've been having not sure if they are related are not:

    Have you seen a neurologist? Have you had an mri scan of your brain? A lot of your symptoms sound neurological.

    If you are short sighted, the flickering and floaters could be vitreous detachment, I am assuming your opthalmologist checked for retinal detachment.

    I would consider seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist
