Can stress cause vision problems?
Stress has been linked to cases of functional vision disorder and central serous chorioretinopathy.
Functional Vision Disorder is not fully understood but describes vision loss related to neuropsychological causes - oftentimes, once stress and mental health issues have been addressed, vision problems resolve.
Central Serous Chorioretinopathy is a common retinal condition where serous fluid leaks behind the retina due to a thickened and hyperpermeable choroid. This is often associated with elevated endogenous and exogenous cortisol levels.
Can stress affect just one eye?
An Eyelid twitch is a very common result from high levels of stress and anxiety. Medically known as an eyelid myokymia, an eyelid twitch usually improves with reduced stress, less caffeine and better rest.
Meditation reduces stress biomarkers and eye pressure

What helps you manage stress and anxiety?

[@ITJoe17]

You can take a 20-minute break after 90 minutes of deep work. Looking at things at close range like using the computer screen causes eye strain. Look outside the window or step outside and look at the horizon. Panoramic vision and looking at distant objects exercise your eyes. Eat a healthy meal loaded with plenty of deep green veggies, and good fats, and stay hydrated. Thanks Doc Allen!

I worked at a toxic workplace and at the time said yes to everything. I was very close to having a burn out. Then I had a retinal tear and pvd I believe it was 100% related to my work. Quit my job at that place and my eyes are doing much better now. Nothing is worth damaging your eyes for! Learned it the hard way.

I am definitely facing some difficulties in life. One of them is eye and vision problems. Dry eye, map dot, floaters, and even a torn retina over the past 18 months.

This is such a sweet and helpful video! Thank you, Eye Doc! I have been having the worst year of my life with a seriously ill husband, struggling with dementia amongst other ailments. My “good” eye (the other has an Epiretinal membrane)has dramatically declined and the vision tires quickly and becomes fuzzy. Screens, which are essential now, and dry eyes/sinus troubles don’t help. I would love to take a long time out of all this and get my eyesight back. I think long hot showers and giving myself permission to have a break and to get out for walk now and then sound like a good idea! Thanks again. (Oh, I find Tonic water reduces my migraines slightly - so it does have some value!).

[@sherryloveshiking2175]

Best video I've seen on KZbin in a very long time! Very informative! Tank you for being so sincere, and for taking the time to address how anxiety affects the eyes.

[@katrinapeacock8317]

This is a great video! I love your honesty as well as the helpful content. I've had severe anxiety for years and randomly seem to have glaucoma, or at least elevated eye pressure that is being investigated. This is ironically adding to my anxiety, but your empathy and information are gold, so thanks!

[@theresecornelius812]

Thank you for being here. You are a beacon of eye information. I am starting glaucoma drops but have good eye pressure. The optic nerve is thinning anyway. I have suffered terrible anxiety over the last 13 years, after deaths in my family and my daughters kidney transplant. The panic attacks and anxiety I feel most days could be causing the gradual thinning and lack of blood flow to my optic nerve. I had no idea. My nervous system has been jacked up for so long. Seeing this video and reading about it, I seriously see that I can no longer live with this stress and must make changes for my eye health!

[@Olivia-oe8um]

as someone dealing with dry eye due to a major change in hormones after switching birth control methods to manage my PCOS (went from super elevated testosterone to super lowered in a matter of weeks + re-introduced estrogen and a new progesterone at the same time), watching this video and seeing how my eye strain from dry eye gets better after doing deep breathing, meditation, and yoga helps me rationalize what i'm feeling so much better. it's comforting to know that while my dry eye is annoying, frustrating, and will take a while to figure out what works best to manage my symptoms, it's not the end of the world, and continuing to lower my cortisol levels will most likely help my symptoms and have long lasting benefits for the rest of my body. thank you so much for making these videos!! you've helped me find a community of people going through dry eye issues and have helped better inform me so i can continue to work with my eye doctor to figure out what works best for me. i appreciate you lots!

I wish you could be my eye doctor! I love that you bring up your own experiences with stress and you don’t pretend to know everything which a lot of doctors tend to do. For stress I drink herbal tea, sometimes a tea with ashwaganda. I also find that exercise really helps to clear my mind and relax my body, along with long showers too. I’ve definitely found that journaling helps and eating a lot of foods high in magnesium too. It’s funny I’ve also been using insight timer for quite a few years now. I think I downloaded it after my first child was born and I was incredibly stressed out, and barely sleeping.

I think that's such a great word advice to myself. Its nice to hear that from someone that actually loves & cares for peoples vision & is willing to hear any of us comments and feedback. Thank you for these different topics explaining different areas of the eye etc. With the way you present these to your audience, it grabs my attention pretty quickly and they are never boring.

[@PeteCranfield]

I find part no.5 - makes symptoms worse - (as well as the last part - the quick tips) the most interesting because it relates directly to what I've been having - eye floaters. I can get anxious easily if I hyper-fixate on them. But like you said, as soon as I relax and stop thinking about them (by finding something else to distract me and keep me occupied), everything gets better. However, other parts are interesting and informative as well. Thank you so much, Dr. Allen!
