Sudden, temporary partial blurriness?

So I'm a 28-year-old female in generally good health. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, but have been told I'm otherwise healthy. I don't think I've ever had an eye exam, but haven't ever had issues with my eyesight.

I do have those squiggly floaters when looking at something bright, like the sky. I always assumed they were normal but recently discovered that they could mean something worse, and with my health anxiety I'm concerned. I also have recently had a strange moment where part of my vision went blurry. It made reading difficult, but I could still see. It lasted for maybe a couple minutes, but just as suddenly as it happened, it went away. I remember something similar happening months before as well. It was while I was driving and I started to panic. It was like I couldn't see my left hand on the steering wheel from my peripheral vision, but I could see the road fine. I was ready to pull over when it went away.

What could this be? Is it something serious? I'm thinking of scheduling an eye exam soon, but should I be looking into going as soon as possible?

    Although it should not be any thing serious at your young age. However it is better to consult eye Doc so that the problem can be resolved, if any.

      Thank you! I started to panic but I'm glad it doesn't sound serious. I will look into getting an eye exam.

    I would go as soon as you can. It could be something easily fixed unless you put it off.
