View Full Version : blindness fear
I have posted on these forums several times about the fear of going blind. After several awful symptoms I finally have some sort of explanation as to what is going on with my eyes (all related to dryness and blepharitis). Now I'm stupidly worried about eye floaters, I see them mostly when I look up at the sky but they have changed from small see through circles to the circles joining up and almost creating a worm like shape. Becoming extremely scared about my retinas.
Why not get an eye test for peace of mind?
Eye floaters are very common even my GP said they have them and there is currently another post on them.
I experience flickering vision and my eyes have been checked out and are fine I mentioned blindness as that petrifies me and she simply said no.
We can experience all sorts of symptoms without them having any true cause.
Thanks for your reply. I've had loads of eye tests, dialled exams and scans. Everything was fine, I've been seeing like a blue pin prick in my vision also when I move my eyes quickly
Did they mention your floaters? If not I bet they couldn't even see them (like in my case too, I also had dilation test) so they must be tiny.
I see a black pin prick in my vision, always have and used to think it was my pupil, not sure if that's possible but I don't worry about it as I've had it many years and the optician stated she couldn't see any floaters at all.
Have a read of this...

Floaters are TOTALLY normal.
