Vision problems plss help!!!!!

[Zoeb23]

A few weeks ago I had an issue in church when I was sitting, and it felt like my vision kept flickering if that makes sense, like flashes of black across my eyes for a split second. Initially i thought it could be the light above me flickering, because I've had the experience before, but my sister said the light was working fine. Prior to this I had been stressing that I have a brain tumour and so I'm wondering if that could have set off the vision loss episode. When I went outside however the issue seemed to clear.

Today, I was sitting in a class in college and about twice I had that same sensation with my vision going black for a few seconds! I immediately panicked and assumed the worst, now I'm scared I'm going blind

I plan on going to an opthamologist soon to get checked out but I'm so scared they're gonna tell me i have a serious condition like Glaucoma. Rn my eyes feel tired and sore, it sort of feels like eye strain, but my brain won't accept it. Pls help..

Ok. Don’t panic. There’s nothing you can do until your appointment. It doesn’t sound like you’re going blind. I don’t think that’s possible in such a short amount of time. My eyes get sore ALL the time. Sometimes my coworker will even look at me like are you okay? And I’ll be like “I just need to close my eyes for a sec”. I work in an office and sitting in florescent lighting can be a strain on your eyes. Do you have headaches too? Could also be migraines. I didn’t even know how bad a migraine could affect my vision until my first one a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, I've had headaches recently, and a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders which I think is due to tension. Last night I was looking at my laptop screen late at night because I was studying, so i think this could be a reason too, actually..also I'm in fluorescent lighting too a lot, come to think of it

I use a laptop all the time so that could explain my eye strain. If you're in an environment like that I'd bet you're in the same boat. It still freaks me out but I have a rationalization.

Omg! I just recently got over pain my neck and shoulders as well. Definitely due to tension and will go away soon. I saw a psychiatrist for anxiety and I told him about my headaches and he immediately asked “do you also feel pain in your neck and shoulders”. Don’t worry. It’s anxiety amplifying everything. It sounds like we have a lot of the same issues (I am also a sufferer of brain phobias). You’re fine! You have simple eye strains and tension. And the anxiety worsens the headaches. It’s a vicious cycle, but it’s more common than a brain tumor or going blind. Even as I’m typing this my eyes feel sore and I have a headache from being at work all day! Try dimming the lights to all your devices and light candles instead of using bright lights in your house. It’s calming and will help with your eye strains.

We’re all here for you!!
