So I have an ophthalmologist appointment. Mainly because I have bad eye strain with my most recent glasses prescription. I had eye strain with my other prescriptions as well, but just blamed it on anxiety and tried to ignore it. Even when I didn’t think too much about my eyes I still had symptoms. I know I have eye anxiety, but I have real eye problems as well. I’ve actually blamed some of my very real eye problems on eye anxiety. An example is needing glasses and issues with depth perception. I thought I was imagining those issues because one eye doctor said I don’t need glasses. But eventually it turned out I have poor vision in one eye which explained my depth perception issues. How much should I mention my symptoms? I have bad anxiety about people not taking me seriously, especially doctors. So sometimes I avoid mentioning symptoms to not look too neurotic. But some of those symptoms turn out to be real and important. I’m mainly going there to have my eyes checked while they’re dilated. I know my eyes are otherwise healthy.
