So I'm a 28-year-old female in generally good health. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, but have been told I'm otherwise healthy. I don't think I've ever had an eye exam, but haven't ever had issues with my eyesight.
I do have those squiggly floaters when looking at something bright, like the sky. I always assumed they were normal but recently discovered that they could mean something worse, and with my health anxiety I'm concerned. I also have recently had a strange moment where part of my vision went blurry. It made reading difficult, but I could still see. It lasted for maybe a couple minutes, but just as suddenly as it happened, it went away. I remember something similar happening months before as well. It was while I was driving and I started to panic. It was like I couldn't see my left hand on the steering wheel from my peripheral vision, but I could see the road fine. I was ready to pull over when it went away.
What could this be? Is it something serious? I'm thinking of scheduling an eye exam soon, but should I be looking into going as soon as possible?
