For like 4 years I've been having vision issues that reset when I wake up but haven't been able to see a doctor. Nothing is scarier than than feeling one of your senses betray you

Try taking a zinc supplement. Shouldn't hurt, may help.

Maybe try using Retin-A eye drops/supplements (low concentration as you don't want vitamin-A toxicity, Lutein & Zeaxanthin supplements can also help, overall it's well worth it to see an optician if possible, it could save you from future blindness, deterioration or something more serious, even if it doesn't then at least you know the cause and likely outcome.

I remember seeing John on a TikTok video that I showed to my husband because it was such a funny, wholesome video. I never would have thought he had such a hard life before, he puts out such a positive, light energy. Fair play to you John, wishing you all the best in the future!

I'm always terrified of anything related to eyes. I can never let anyone touch my eyes or get near it and even an eye drop is a nightmare for me. I guess losing sight is the ultimate fear of mine. But somehow I keep coming across things related to this subject. I really can't imagine how life must be like for him, however, it's a very emotional and heartwarming story ❤

Sounds like you have untreated trauma. Might wanna see a therapist to figure it out.

​@@sohu86x​I have always wondered where this exaggerated fear comes from, although I can't remember any situation that could've caused it. Unfortunately I am currently unable to get therapy but definitely will in the future whenever it's possible. Thanks

I mean what a heartbreakingly beautiful story. I had no idea. Honestly the entire time I thought about God. And how sometimes life just fucking sucks, but something beautiful can come from it. I’m not a super Christian or anything. lol I just think this is better than any sermon I’ve ever heard.
