Recently, I've started noticing two new things going on with my eyes. I've had floaters my entire life so I know that neither of these things are floaters.
1) This one has been going on for a while but it feels like its gotten worse lately. It happens mostly when I wake up in the morning, but it also occurs after looking at screens or when standing up after sitting for a long time.
Basically, whenever I look to the side, I see large dark blobs appear.
It happens in both eyes. Its incredibly noticeable if I look to the left while turning my head to the right or vice versa. They're almost like blind spots and can vary in size and intensity.
Another way I can make them appear is by rapidly shaking my head back and forth. When I do that, I get two very distinct blobs right in the center of my vision accompanied by pain towards the back of both of my eyes.
Not sure what this is about.
2) This one is more new, and I only ever notice it in my left eye. Whenever light rapidly enters and exits my eye (for example, when light shines into my eye through the passing trees as I drive), I can see the veins in my eye.
I've experienced this phenomenon before at the eye doctor when they shine the very bright light directly into my eye, but now its happening simply while driving.
I also noticed the veins earlier while laughing, despite light not even shining into my eye.
I've got pretty bad anxiety and am always assuming the absolute worst. I worry myself sick about health related issues. I have a family history of MS so I'm hoping these arent neurological problems or something.
I got an MRI about 3 years ago and it came out fine.
I got an eye exam about 8 months ago and it came out fine.
I'm 25 if that helps. Thanks!
