About 5 months ago I started to see floaters in my vision. I went to my ophthalmologist and she said they were normal of someone with myopia and that I would eventually get used to them. The biggest problem happend 2/3 weeks ago, when I started to see little flashes of light in my right eye (which is also the eye with more floaters). I see it almost everytime I suddenly move my eyes upward or from right to left (also with head movement) and I'm looking at the sky or a white / light surface. It looks like a headlight of a car is pointing at me or like someone's got mirror and it's reflecting some tiny light right into my eye.
I read somewhere flashes could be caused by PVD (posterior vitreous detachment) or even retinal detachment, so I got really worried and went to see an ophthalmologist as soon as I could. Since my ophthalmologist was completly booked I went to the emergency room in the public hospital. The doctor there ranned all sorts of tests and said she saw nothing wrong in my eye or my retina, tears nothing. I asked her what was causing me to see flashes then, and she responded "I'm sorry, but I don't know. They'll probably go away soon."
2 weeks after and I'm still seeing the flashes.
I'm already an extremely anxious person (this last year I have been going in and out of doctor's offices because of different "problems / diseses / pains" only to find out they were all the result of anxiety) but this is making me feel so BAD like never before... I'm terrified, I can not sleep or eat properly, my chest feels tight and I'm crying everyday. I have made an appointment with a psychologist because I can't handle this anymore. I'm only 19, by the way.
Does anyone here have the same or do you know what is possibly going on in my eyes? Should I go to see another ophthalmologist? Could this all be just anxiety ??
Thanks in advance.
