I'm not feeling Vid today

Sigh...
First things first, hello everyone!

I’ve been dealing with my own vision issues for a while now—prescription glasses, needing two different pairs depending on the task, sensitivity to light, dark spots, all that good stuff.

If I can offer any advice, please, don't just brush off your eyesight. If these issues start happening more frequently, don't wait. Go get checked out... because there's always a deeper side to these things that you might not see coming.😁
🤣

It’s totally possible this could be neurological—like, something happening in the brain itself, maybe specifically in the visual processing center. A cousin of mine dealt with something similar; she had this constant glare issue and her vision would just blur out randomly. She went through every eye exam under the sun, and honestly, everything came back perfectly normal. But eventually, her doctors realized they needed to look deeper and sent her for some brain imaging. It feels a bit strange to me that they haven't suggested further testing for you yet, because the root cause doesn't necessarily have to be an issue with your eyes. The facility where my cousin went for those specialized scans is located in Washington, D.C., and let me tell you, the waitlist there is absolutely brutal.

I had a cousin who dealt with intense light sensitivity and bouts of blurred vision; she went through every single eye exam under the sun, but they couldn't find a thing wrong with her eyes. Eventually, doctors suggested she get some brain imaging done. Honestly, it strikes me as odd that they haven't referred you for further testing yet, because the root cause doesn't necessarily have to be an ocular issue. The facility my cousin used is located over in Washington, D.C., and let me tell you, the waitlist there is absolutely brutal.

What if they need to run a CT scan or check your neural activity and all that sort of thing...

Author, I just have one question because I have a friend dealing with a similar issue.

How much time do you spend at the computer, watching TV, or anything like that?
Basically, he spent a ton of time staring at screens, and his old CRT monitor eventually lost its focus. [I assume you know what that means].
He also went to see an eye doctor, who gave him the whole rundown. He cut off all contact with his computer for two months, and his vision finally returned to normal.
He spent a lot of time outdoors instead, just looking at nature. I guess according to psychology, green tones calm the brain and provide a sense of relaxation.

I know he mentioned how his eyes would start watering on their own, and when he closed them, they’d sting intensely.
Now everything is fine and there aren't any more issues...

I wear glasses, but lately, my vision has been acting completely haywire. I’ve been dealing with occasional double vision—it even crossed over into triple vision at one point—and mostly just a massive blur right in my central field of vision. 🙄
Because of these intense, non-stop headaches, I ended up in the ER. They sent me in for a brain CT scan, and lo and behold, right next to the visual cortex, they found a 4cm tumor that had been slowly pressing against my visual center, which explains all those glitches.
Looking back now, I realize the symptoms actually started creeping in a full year earlier; I just didn't take them seriously enough at the time. 👎
So, please, just go see your primary care physician and have them write you a referral for a neurologist.

The search my cousin did was for VEP—Visual Evoked Potentials. Basically, they place electrodes on the back of your skull—right where the visual processing center is—and connect them to special glasses you wear while looking at things.
