Lately with my anxiety I feel like I am having vertigo and my eyesight seems to be getting worse. I have always had floaters and dots in my vision, but lately it is quite intense. I see little flashing lights everywhere. It is so weird and disturbing. I feel like I am always drunk. It is worse in the morning when I first get up. It feels like I am now getting enough oxygen to my brain. If anyone else is feeling this way I was wondering if they did anything to make it better or to stop concentrating on it. Thanks all for your feedback!
 
Hi there, I too have floaters. They are pretty annoying. Wearing sunglassess outside make them unnoticeable. The flashing I have had too and my eye doctor after a very through exam. Digital imaging and all that good stuff said what I have is optical migrains. No pain or anything, just a circle of bright light it seems and doesn't last long. I don't get them very often but I was always afraid I'd get one while driving. Luckily I haven't. Next time you have one, close your eyes for several minutes and see if that doesn't make it go away. Of course by all means talk to your doctor about this though. Let me know if this helps.
 
I have this too! My vision seems as if it is shimmering quickly back and forth. It has the flashing, flickering quality to it. I have also had MRI's and thorough vision screenings. I do have low iron and wonder if it is somehow related to that, BUT I have had it now for 2 years. It is very disturbing! Do patterns seem to shake back and forth a little or is it just me?
 
I have severe myopia and was told by one eye doctor that I have a touch of astigmatism as well. I guess it affects how straight lines are seen by the eye. I know sometimes if I am not looking directly at something but rather off to the side, lines will seem to be moving or blurring.
