Everyone have some degree of floaters in their eyes,but many will not notice them or don't gove much attention to them.

Stress & anxiety make's one to notice these floater's more when compared to a less anxious person.

Abou 8 weeks ago my anxiety seemed to start. and ever since my eye sight has been wrong. Is it possible that my eye sight (was perfect before but now right eye (and occassionaly left eye) goes in and out of focus- more out of focus then infocus.
Also every morning when i wake up (whether bad or good sleep) my eyes are really sore.. what could this be from?

Thanks. any help would be great.. its been so long.. i cant drive in this condition,

Everyone experiences some soreness in eye (due to dry eye) during wake up,so don't get tensed over small things, anxiety is the real culprit not eyes.
