Well, I am still here. Still have the same eye issues as in the previous post. I feel more anxious, and I wish I had some answers. Does anyone have any similar one eye experience? I get floaters in both eyes, but right is the one that feels goofy still. Side of face in the temple area still numblike. Comes and goes. I am trying hard not to focus on it, and calm down. But it is hard.

Hey Cinny,
I pray this helps to alleviate your concerns about the eye floaters....

By Marilyn Haddrill, with contributions and review by Charles Slonim, MD

Eye floaters are those tiny spots, specks, flecks and "cobwebs" that drift aimlessly around in your field of vision. While annoying, ordinary eye floaters and spots are very common and usually aren't cause for alarm.

Floaters and spots typically appear when tiny pieces of the eye's gel-like vitreous break loose within the eye's interior.

You'll notice that these types of spots and floaters are particularly pronounced when you peer at a bright, clear sky or a white computer screen. But you can't actually see tiny bits of debris floating loose within your eye. Instead, shadows from these floaters are cast on the retina as light passes through the eye, and those shadows are what you see.

You'll also notice that these specks never seem to stay still when you try to focus on them. Floaters and spots move when your eye moves, creating the impression that they are "drifting."

I did do this research on these "eye floaters" and honestly, I think you are worrying over nothing!!!

I pray this helped...Have a great night's sleep!!! God Bless!!!

Also, I have heard of many people who have dry eyes and need eye lubricants!!! Maybe, this is your case!!!

Allergies, as well as anxiety can cause one to have blurry vision!!!

I pray you rest well tonight free from worry and anxiety!!!

Thanks Ms. T...

I know, I just worry, you know how it is. Sometime it just helps to hear that you are not alone. My face has been getting numb off and on for months, and I have to just get past it, and move on. I do think that I am having dry eye problems, and I have a swollen tear duct right in the middle of my bottom eyelid. Found that while doing the standard close up inspection that we all probably do when something is weird. I also think that my eye is blurry alot, because of all of the floaters in that eye. If I shake my eyes back and forth quick, it always seems to clear up for a few minutes.

Thanks for your kind words!

Cinny...You are sooo welcome

I have all kinds of "weird" eye problems!!! I have very bad allergies, so, I don't concern myself with it!!!

I do have to say that when I was younger that I "obsessed" over things like this!!! I have learned that most little things like this don't amount to nothing!!!

As far as that numbness...Wow!!! I did that one more times that Carter has "liver pills"

I pray you get you some rest and just let go of all these concerns!!!

God Bless You Tremendously is My Prayer for you!!!

Cinny, I feel for you and can only imagine how frustrating this must be for you. I wish I had more experience with this so I could advise you with a degree of confidence, but it sounds like ms t bones is giving you some good advice based on her experiences

I will say that in my experience worry seems to make physical symptoms worse regardless what symptoms they are. What helped me with my worry was countering my thoughts in TEA forms and learning how to eliminate all the thinking errors I was making.
Take care and I hope your symptoms subside soon.
