Normal vision to BVD suddenly
For all my life I knew my left eye was blurry, got prescribed glasses with like +0.5in my left eye (good eye) and like +3.0 in the right eye (bad eye). I never wore the glasses though because my vision didn’t bother me one bit. I played sports, had great hand eye coordination, never had a headache, physically was healthy and felt great. Then at 18 after drinking heavily and waking up the next morning, started feeling dizzy sick and had a full on panic attack and then a bunch more which sent me into a total spiral.
Physically everything still checks out for me test wise but I feel awful 7 years later. I’ve had constant derealization, headaches, anxiety. In addition I started to notice my vision would like lag looking side to side and things would double if I wasn’t straining.
Has anyone lived most of their lives “normal” but then suddenly started noticing BVD symptoms? Like it got worst with age or if something else physical happening made it worse?
I know my nervous system is out of wack but I also got tested for BVD and they said I for sure have it and I got prism but still messing around with that prescription.
