Eye problems during stress (eye stress): Causes of symptoms
-
Everyone has to deal with stress from time to time in their busy life. This leads to many health problems, including sometimes eye disorders. Eye stress is used to describe many symptoms that may be caused by stress or even just eye strain. Some of the symptoms that may occur from stress include blurred vision, headache, dizziness, and dry, itchy eyes. Most eye problems caused by stress are temporary and will resolve on their own when stress levels are lowered. However, in case of persistent eye complaints, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist.

Fight or flight response When a person is anxious, scared, or stressed, the body's instinct is to go into the 'fight or flight' response.

Central serous choroidopathy
-
A more serious eye condition caused by stress is central serous choroidopathy. This disease causes fluid to build up in the retina that can eventually leak into an area below the retina (choroid = choroid). The fluid build-up affects the part of the eye that sends information from vision to the brain. The symptoms include seeing distorted lines, seeing objects that appear distant, and a blurry spot in the center of the field of vision. No one knows the exact cause of serous choroidopathy in October 2020, but stress is a major risk factor. Patients who develop this condition are usually patients with high stress levels, type A personalities, and 20 to 50 year old men. The ophthalmologist diagnoses the eye condition through a comprehensive eye exam
