I know there have been alot of postings on vision problems. My question is do you think sinus can play a part in the vision thing? I am having ahard time here. My sinus have been bad. My ear and glands hurt. Now I have been getting this vision thing like there is water blocking my vision. I also have the lightning lines surrounding my vision. Could this been sinus or anxiety? This happened to me twice already and now again. Seems like when I get an antibiotic it goes away. This is scaring the bejeepers out of me. Any suggestions?

Hi Carol,

Do you suffer with migraines? I get visual problems, distorted vision which is followed by zig zag lines going across my visual field, usually lasts 30mins, with NO headache. It scared me and caused me to have anxiety attacks all over again. Had lots of tests and they tell me it is a vascular migraine, with no pain. Have you had a full eye check up? If not make sure you do, to rule out anything with your eye.

Ever since my anxiety got so high a couple of months ago my eyes have been doing crazy things. I've gotten to where I can't stand to look at a black, blue or white background. I see all kinds of crazy things in my vision field. I don't mean floaters - I have those too but this is stuff that I can't explain. I went to the eye dr. and he said my eyes are fine that it is something caused in the back of my brain and probably anxiety related. Not an eye problem - but a huge annoyance. I just hope it lessens.

Any chance that you are having side effects from meds like Wellbutrin for example.?
