Struggling to cope with vision changes.

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've joined this forum nearly a year ago, to ask questions about what I was dealing with at that time. I found out that I was experiencing blue field entoptic phenomenon and a massive increase in floaters. I went to two different doctors, each said that there was nothing wrong with my eyes, I believe that, but I everywhere I look I (as long as it is bright in enough) I see my white blood cells moving along and floaters everywhere. I know it's normal for everyone to be able to see blue field entoptic phenomenon, but I don't think it's normal for me to be able to see it on everything all of the time. For nearly a year, I've been struggling to find happiness, with almost an anxiety feeling, I've just been living and hoping it will get better, but it hasn't, I don't know why. I look around and nothing feels the same, I want to be able to see the way I used to.

    Could it be a form of visual snow?

      I'm honestly not sure. I've looked into it, and I actually thought I had it for quite some time, but now I'm not so sure, I think it was just caused from me being paranoid, looking for things that were wrong. I don't really have the symptoms people with visual snow have, most notably the "static", I see it a little bit when it's dark, but from my understanding that's normal. I have noticed afterimages, to an extent, but I just think that I've taught to my brain to see these things and now I can't unsee them, if that makes sense. I appreciate your reply.

      I realize that I really don't have of that bad compared to some, it's just hard to deal with.

    I too have exactly the symptoms you've described and am attempting to come to terms with it. It's been negatively effecting my work and mental well-being. I've had these issues with my vision for decades but feel they've recently gotten a bit more apparent and difficult not to focus on. Hearing that others are experiencing the same phenomena is a welcome relief from being told there's nothing wrong with me by medical professionals but I'd still like to find better coping techniques. To date I've tried some vitamin supplements I read someone online recommend but it's not made a difference as far as I can tell. I'm completely open to any suggestions on how to improve the condition or cope with it, I'm planning on trying some hypnotherapy.

    Hi Gabriel just been reading through your post and wondering if you managed to get tot the bottom of what was going on or find any relief? I have been dealing with a similar thing for the last 4 months now and its driving me crazy. I have had so many floaters come in my vision with also a feeling of being spaced out and disorientated! Just wondering if you managed to find anything contributing to your symptoms? Thanks Jordan
