Eyes going out of focus?

[AngelHeart]

Anyone get their eyes going out of focus with anxiety? Is so how often do you have this please? Ihave an inner ear condition at the moment which can make your eyes blurry but as I've been suffering anxiety was wondering if it could be related to this too. Thank you xx

Hi Paul, my eyes play me up mostly every day, blurry, can't seem to focus etc. x

Maybe you are tired? I get this in the morning or when I'm bored.

Definitely related to anxiety. My biomedical lecturer explained this to me as follows; the disruption of chemicals within the body, for example adrenalin, caused by anxiety can affect the contraction of muscles throughout the body. As I'm sure you know, the human eye is a finely tuned organ and any disruption in the muscle function caused by hormones like adrenalin will most definitely affect your vision. Secondly, hormones like adrenalin cause your blood pressure to rise, thus the pressure of the blood in the tiny capillaries in and around the eye increases. If you can imagine the pressure increasing in the eye, you begin to realise that this too will affect your vision and often causes headaches and other general achey pain.

Hope that makes sense...

i get this too :( so annoying. i end up getting headaches in the end. i struggle with distances and screens like tv or a computer the most, but in general everything is blurry. i know its linked with my anxiety because i only struggle with it when im stressed. the rare times im not, i can see everything! hahaa
