So my first time posting here, and I really dont want to bother lurking to understand the board culture(also you guys should have a sticky).

So Ive been freaking out about my eyesight since last November, I waited until December 18 to actually see an Optometrist. At the time I was worried because I was seeing little sparks of lights in field of vision and was worried that it might be Retinal Detachment, I made the appointment, saw the doctor, and side from needing glasses I was alright, I felt a great weight taken off my shoulder after I saw him, but later that day I started seeing halos and other shit around lamp post and once again started freaking out again. Gradually shit started getting weird where I would also see says of light from said Street Lamp and that made worry once again. After going to the doctor once again, he told me I was fine, but that still did not make me feel better. Things carried on like that for a while until ONCE again I started freaking out about my eyesight, this time I was worried that I might have Macular Degeneration (an old people thing) and even after telling my self that you are being dumb I went to another Eye Doctor, and once again told me that I was fine, and once again I felt the weight being taken off my shoulders. That was about 3 weeks ago, but now I've started seeing tiny dots in my vision with an occasional pain in my eye area. After seeing my regular doctor he told me that it could be the symptoms of a migraine. What makes things worse is that I am once again seeing flashes in my vision except that these ones look different so once again I am worrying about retinal detachment. What do you guys suggest because I cant be wasting time and money on this, but at the same time it could be something worse and the stress is starting to get in the way of my life.

Nice trips homo.

Never self diagnose. Always go to a professional. Go in, get a good diagnosis, get treatment.

Lastly, don't let it get to you. We all go through awkward health problems. You'll understand what to expect much better after talking to a pro. Not by fretting and worrying.

Honestly? If all the eye doctors said your eyesight was fine, then the problem is not in your eyes themselves. Either the problem is real and focused in your visual cortex, or you are a hypochondriac and are worrying about nothing.

I guess you are you right, but sometimes its hard to ignore something when it appears in you field every few seconds. Ill go to another Optometrist and get my self check, If I am still freaking out after that Ill try to find some psychological help.

Could be migraines. Is there a family history of migraines or epilepsy? Try aspirins or beta-blockers or anti-depressants.

You might try seeing an actual Ophthalmologist, rather than just an Optometrist and your family practice doctor.
