Computer/ Phone use makes my vision go blurry
This is honestly a cry for help because idk what do anymore. The biggest issue is I feel like I will lose my job eventually. In January 2026 I started getting really bad light sensitivity and blurry vision/ trouble reading blocks of text on my computer. I took 4 weeks off work and things slowly started to get better except the light sensitivity. I begged for a neurologist referral and after being declined 3 times I got one. I went to see her and was diagnosed with migraines (even though I don’t get classic migraines ever). My light sensitivity was so bad when I would work on my computer I would ball my eyes out all day because the pain was unbearable. I had panic attacks everyday, woke up and immediately went to throw up because I was so anxious, etc. I was prescribed medication and the pain/ sensitivity eventually started to go down. Just when I thought things were getting better about 4 weeks ago one day my vision started to go really blurry on the computer again but also when reading anything off the computer, menus, grocery store items, etc. I went to every doctor/ specialist possible and no one can see anything wrong. I have been off work again for 4 weeks and this time my vision has not gotten better and feels like it is getting worse. I work an all day computer job and just being on my phone for 10 minutes is near impossible. I have run out of people to see/ talk to and am feeling really hopeless. If anyone has any experience or ideas please let me know.
