I'm getting these visual anomalies that look like a string of floaters that fade away after only 1 second, 2 seconds tops. And they seem to only occur when I'm feeling very stressed. My mother is suffering from advanced vascular dementia and this is precipitating this stress. Anyone else experienced anything similar related to stress or otherwise?

Yes, those floaters are very common when people are undergoing stress. They’re not harmful. I had them beginning in my late 20s and they continued off and on . Mine were due to long-term stress and anxiety. My eye check ups were perfectly normal. after a while, I didn’t even notice them anymore because the brain has a way of tuning them out.
just get your regular eye exams and let the doctor know if anything changes. But I’m thinking that once you can. manage The anxiety, perhaps they will diminish or go away. we went through this with our mother and just make sure that you are taking care of yourself because a lot of caregivers forget to do that. That way you can be stronger for your mother. Take care.
