    Horizontal lines vibrate when I stare at them

    Just had my eye exam 2 weeks ago. Had imaging done. Everything good. Today i noticed when I stared at thin horizontal lines they vibrated kinda. Im really nearsighted & took my glasses off to look and they did not vibrate. Although extremely blurry obviously. Glasses are not new. I also noticed this years ago but it was a fleeting thought. Im assuming this is just a weird oddity? Im not planning to make another appointment about it. Its not affecting my normal vision except if I stare at lines lol ugh. I really want to just shake this off. 🥴

    Sometimes when your brain trips your anxiety you get fixations you wouldn’t normally entertain. I think that’s happened here to be honest. Some lines do play tricks on your eyes so really I wouldn’t worry (I know it’s hard but especially when you’ve had a normal eye test, I think you can try to relax x)

    Perhaps not staring and fixating on horizontal lines would be the solution

    Hi I’m having the exact same issue. I had an eye test about a month ago and was told everything’s fine also. Mine started a few months ago where I felt I couldn’t focus properly, like my eyes and brain weren’t working together then I noticed this line wiggling and what felt like jumpy vision, I’ve also felt quite dizzy. I went to the drs and I have a build up of ear wax which I’ve read can give these symptoms. Im having it removed on Monday so I hope it will help but I’m pretty sure 99.9% of mine is anxiety. If you notice even the smallest thing your brain magnifies it massively and before we know it we are spiralling. I know it’s really difficult my dizziness and worry has been massive today but I hope your able to ignore this before it gets to that stage 🙂
