hi everyone - does anyone else suffer with vision and concentration problem my eyes have been playing up for about 4 months, i see spots most days and have focusing problem - im only in my early 30s i do notice it more some days than others which makes me think its anxiety related some times it doesn't bother me others its the only thing i think about and i work myself into a right state of anxiety
i have been to a eye doctor and everything is normal i also notice i find it really hard to concentrate and focus on things like the TV and reading it seems my mind just goes blank

yes - at the peak of my anxiety my vision was blurred all the time. My sight only returned to normal once I started on the path to recovery.

Anxiety always seems to affect my eyes!! not sure why and can't really explain... i do see a lot of spots, and when im really really anxious i also cannot focus on anything, it's like my eyes want to look everywhere!

yes i see them too. try to ignore them. my doc told me they are dead cells visible only trough a microscope, but since you are more anxious your sight is more sharp, you know fight and flight...they are always there and always be, its that when were anxious we see them more. you must accept its anxiety, and ignore the feeling, its more easy said than done...good luck

had mine for about 3 months - never had a problem with my eyes before and got them checked by the eye doctor but just doesnt seem to go and its getting me down bring on health anxiety thinking there something seriously wrong my ears do feel a bit blocked but no ringing
its probably down to anxiety but i have suffered with anxiety for years but never this bad or vision problems 24/7 i do have some tingling in arms and legs also and real trouble concentrating and taking my mind off things
