Styes, Diverted Eye Lashes, Blurry Vision

    Well I have had a history of predominant style in my left eye in the last 8 years or so. And in the last 3 years I have been getting eye lashes directed into my eye that I have to pluck every 6 months or so.

    Recently on a trip to Europe I got a bad stye that lingered, it went away for a minute then came back and drove me crazy for the whole time.

    After 2 weeks, I finally went to the doctor and got some antibiotic ointment to put in my eye. I did it for like 2 weeks and it got better. No more pain really, but my eye lid is still red and inflamed and now vision is getting blurry in this eye.

    This is freaking me out, because I really don't want to lose my vision in one eye.

    Any experience with something like this?

    Just go to the eye doctor.
    I had blurry vision when I began to need glasses at about 45 (common in my family).
    I have had some various eye symptoms due to TMS and to dry eye. Last year I had more eye symptoms because of age related retinal changes that are a normal part of aging. They created large floaters which blur vision temporarily but soon the brain learns to bypass them. It does so very fast if you don’t fear them or worry about them at all (as discussed with my ophthalmologist).
    Just get a basic quickly exam, they can look into the back of your eye and pretty immediately tell you what and why is happening. However, using TMS practices will always help your mental and emotional state deal with anything physical or emotional/mental.

    Dealing with overall health anxiety might also be a great next step to curb the catastrophizing and freak outs -basically generalizing the TMS work to go beyond whatever the current symptom is.
