Vision changes from anxiety

Posted , 2 users are following.

My vision fluctuates daily. Some days it's fine others it's horrible. Opthamologist and neurological docs say everything looks great. Is it possible anxiety is causing this?

    I'd say it's worth discussing possible anxiety with your doctor. I know it can cause lots of different physical symptoms, although I don't know how it affects your eyes. Perhaps it is also worth getting a second opinion from another opthalmologist? Are you on any medication that might affect your vision? Any other visual symptoms - pain, discomfort, blurred vision, gritty feeling? It could be computer/screen related eyestrain and/or dry eye issues. If it is possible dry eye, I'd recommend seeing an opthalmologist with experience in corneal and ocular surface disorders. Some general opthalmologists aren't very clued up on it.
