You're hyper-focused (literally) on normal visual anomalies

Wow! Are you me?! I see my white blood cells all the time when outside looking at the sky, my eyes get filled with them. I don’t worry about them anymore but it’s reassuring to know other people have gone through the same thing. My anxiety levels are always really high, even when I think I’m fine, so I never stop noticing all these issues with my eyes :(

Hi, just thought I'd chip in here. One of my close friends who also suffers badly with anxiety, had an episode of eye 'problems'. He had exactly what you describe, and diagnosed himself with 'eye-burn'. He visited two doctors and an optician, nothing was wrong, and the second doctor said it hyperfocussing and anxiety. I've had mild episodes of this as well.

Hope that helps.

literally have the same issues started in april of 2024. I'm guessing it's to do with something going on in the occipital lobe; a dsyfunction that can be fixed, but almost like with trial and error to see which of the shoes fit and enter remission.
