Gosh. So much is going wrong with me right now...loosing friends, allergies and now I think I have a blind spot in my vision. Gosh I have been freaking out for like 2 days about this...I'm so afraid I'm going blind. Or have glaucoma. And it's really scaring me....I'm even afraid to go to the eye doctors because I'm terrified they're going to tell me I'm going blind or something. :( I don't know what to do anymore. I'm scared & freaked out.

i sometimes worry that too much of the computer monitor is ruining my eye sight.

and, supposedly, too much suger isn't good for your eyes, either.

I totally feel you. It sounds like your anxiety is causing you to be a bit worried. I also was dealing with some vision issues and was afraid that I might be losing my sight or even worse. After geeking myself up to go to the eye doctor, it turns out that it was all anxiety related. I believe that you will be fine. I'm sorry to hear about your friends. I hope you feel better :-D

The eye doctor can get a great look into your eyes and see all the blood vessels in the back. He or she can tell you if there is a physical problem or anxiety related and painlessly at that. Go and get it checked out. You have absolutely nothing to lose by going to the eye doctor. I get blurry vision when my anxiety is very high. Freaking out is not solving your problem for your eyes or your mental well being.

I don't have insurance so I can tell you that out of pocket is normally around $50. That is not too much to pay for getting your eyes looked at.
