So, i have been (of course along with so mnay other things) dealing with alot of anxiety; but along with that, i have been having genuine eye issues (long story, but blepharitis and some other issues caused by my sleep apnea. The irony, the obvious physical damage i dealt with in the past was worse than now, but i wasn't quite so broken then.....).
The last few weeks, i noticed that i think i was having a flare up of my issues again, so i have been trying to be proactive about them. But this week, i noticed that i have some (at some times) uneven pupils (anisocoria), combined with my other issues (redness, but i thought it was my dry eyes) and pain (again, dry eyes and bleph).. Thanks to google of course, combined with everything, i got myself very worried that it is something serious. But what is even worse; my pupils alternate between which is bigger!
I went to an optometrist (i am pissed, because i forgot that is the one occupation where Dr is not really a Dr.. i thought i was seeing an ophthalmologist...), who did note it (but also noted that it was reversed from what i saw before), and suggested i bring it up at my regular optho visit at the end of this month (booked well in advance of this), but noted that i may have had this for a while, and they just didn't tell me since it wasn't a concern (she did the slit lamp inspection and only noted dry eye).
I am just worried, despite seeing her, that it is is something serious. My pupils both respond to light, and certainly constrict in bright light. My right eye (where i have noted it before) is the one that has had more damage/trauma, but i am so scared its something unrelated to it. And of course, thanks to google ( i KNOW), i worry it something really really bad...
Not sure what i am looking for, other than maybe somebody who can relate. For what its worth, i am dealing with a huge amount of stress (my ex wife is coming back to town this week for our daughter's birthday, and i haven't seen her since we divorced... ), but there is no way this can just be stress...
