Something like floaters, but isn't, in my eyes

[dllfo]

First noticed this problem while flying the Air Force.  They sent me to a regional hospital where they tested my eyes for a day and half, then told me the problem was generated by stress.  

If you look across the hood of a car on a HOT day, like 100 degrees plus, you might see what I have.  Opaque things crossing back and forth, irregular shapes.  I can see directly in front of myself, but peripheral vision is blurred by these "things".

How do I currently get rid of them?  Sit in a dark room a few hours is one way.  I am typing this with a baseball cap on, INSIDE my house, that helps.  Eliminating stress helps, but I currently have multiple things bothering me.  Not life shattering, just major irritants.  

I do NOT get these "Stress Points" (???) by looking into bright lights, or headlights, etc.  I never get headaches that last over 30 seconds (Thank You Lord - I feel so sorry for people who live with that), my sinuses are open, I am at sea level, I am on about 15 prescriptions (down from mid-20s) mostly Respiratory, pain, GERD, Oral Surgery follow up Anti-Biotics like Cipro, Restless Legs Syndrome, CCHS. Carpal Tunnel that is caused by a problem in my upper back.
But no matter how bad I feel, or have felt, my heart smiles when my wife and family are around (Medic Alert/Service/
Therapy Dog is family).  Sorry this is so long.  I am trying to provide answers from various approaches.  I have not had my eyes checked in slightly over a year.   Did I mention Opiates have messed up my memory?  At 62, I have most of the warning signs of Dementia and THAT scares me to death.  My dad had Alzheimer's, but he was around 85 when that hit.  I am 62.  I am retired military with SSDI --- Medicare and Tricare for Life, so I have fair to good medical coverage -- depending on which hospital I am in, or test is run, etc.   Thanks for your patience, if you are still awake, I thank you for your time.....

Your problem is strongly suggestive of ophthalmic migraine. Use the search feature and look at the many posts on the subject, google the term, then use google images and look up "migraine scotoma" one type looks exactly like "looking through a heat wave" like you are describing.  See a neuro-ophthalmologist or neurologist.
