Vision issues.

Hi, I'm Marc and I'm 18 years old. I've dealt with a lot of eyes problems through my life, most stemming from lazy vision when I was a kid. I had surgery when I was 3-4 years old and then had vision therapy when I was 12. I've always dealt with double-vision with my two eyes, and I've done therapy to correct it. As of the past year or so my right eye has become blurry. I see ghost images, halos around lights, floaters, etc. It's obviously been very traumatic for me due to my past experience with eye problems.  I'm seeing an eye-doctor on Thursday but the anxiety is crazy. I'ved looked stuff up on the internet and I've seen stuff on Brain tumors... It's just really crazy. I'd love it if anyone could give me some answers on this. It'd be greatly appreciated.

Mellow out. Brain tumors are not a common cause of strabismus (eye muscle problems). Don't court trouble.  Be absolutely certain that the "eye doctor" you are seeing is a MD physician Eye MD ophthalmologist. Do not see a non-MD non-pysician optometrist.
