Does anyone suffer from these? I have had several episodes of this lasting weeks over the last 10 years. They always involve light sensitivity and thinking I can see a shadow or something in my left eye. Then I obsess about it so much that I am looking for something out of the ordinary all the time!

I had numerous trips to opticians and an eye specialist and they have found nothing!!

It's bad again and I am so obsessed with it that my muscles are so tense around my eyes! I have a headache and a real fear of brain tumor!

I don't know what to do!!:weep:

I sympathise with you. this is my main worry at the moment.the worry of it is consuming my life as i am so scared. I have had 3 trips to optician and all was ok, being referred now to opthamologist to see why i am getting these symptoms. doc doesnt seem concerned but its just getting so scary. I have had a very stressful year with my brother dying and a marriage split up so not sure if it is caused by stress. also i have m.e so i am not sure if it is yet another new symptom. my symptoms in my eyes started in march. i noticed first of all just in one eye a dark line/shadow in the bottom of my vision. it was only really in brightly lit places or outside in daylight. then it started in my other eye. now its most days indoors too. i am very "aware" of my vision if you know what i mean, and sort of "look" for it now, which i know doesnt help. i worry as you do, about tumours but also ms and awful stuff like that. so scared. anyone else get these symptoms? also i get sort of like a bit "light" like a bit of glitter on my eyelash or sometihng but there isnt anything there. blurry vision too . sarah x
