Hello

I am a 24 year old male who wears contact lenses and glasses.

I have a lazy left eye (little vision) and a medium strength prescription in my right eye

Over the last few months I have been getting pressure headaches and sort of blurry vision as well as eye pain.

I have been to the doctor and option who said my eyes are fine (except for needing lenses) and I my prescription has not changed.

I have had an Anxiety attack in the past (just once) but I think im a little stressed with work and money issues at present....could it be Anxiety causing my eyesight problems??

I have symtoms similar to eye strain but my eyes do not feel tired and nothing has changed in regards to my work or social life.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Cheers

Blurred vision is something that can be experienced when anxious/fearful.
The reason being when we are anxious and our fight/flight response is triggered our pupils dilate which can cause blurry vision.
