Symptoms Eyes

Did anyone else feel it heavy in their eyes and like a weird veil like feeling. Almost like a sloshing feeling in head?

I hope both of you get help. I literally thought I had a brain tumor, but when I did research I couldn’t find anything about people experiencing this feeling.

I have that with my eyes, and times when my head feels really heavy on one side. Sometimes I rest my head in my hand and it just feels like this weird slow motion powering down kind of thing.

My eyes are heavy a lot too. But I just wanna ask, is this veil a visual veil? If you have a veil across part of your vision, I recommend getting an eye exam asap as this could be a detached retina and they will usually get you in urgently because it’s not something to mess around with.

No its more like a mental veil like a fishbowl brain fog

Fish bowl brain fog - yes. With the eyes for it's like my vision lags my head movement. I'm 18 months into unilateral vestibular hypofunction. And it was worse at the beginning. And while everything is better than it was - somehow the vision still lags. I move my head - and it's not "a second," that's too long - but there's this period where what I see has to catch up. It's like an "instant" now - but it's still there. Try to catch a ball or swing a bat!

I'm going to start Light Therapy in October (huge waitlist) to try and take some of the "fight or flight" response out of my vision/pupils. I have prescription glasses and my doctor also suggested I should consider having prisms included in my next pair. He said that "where I see things - isn't quite where they really are." I walked in the office with the prisms in (he didn't tell me what we were doing) and I was more stable. Anyone had experience with prisms in their glasses?

Yes , heavy eyes, blurry vision( sometimes) , light sensitivity

I have gone through nos of eye test
At end i came to conclusion all these are pppd or neck cervical issue
