Something happened today that really scared me

i was sitting in my car waiting for a train to cross the road when suddenly i started seeing double and feeling like something was not right with the positioning of my eyeballs. actually this smiley comes pretty close to how it felt -> i took off my sunglasses to see if they were causing it and the double vision remained so i started blinking in terror hoping it would go away. it lasted for probably 10 seconds and then i felt my eyes correct themselves and my vision was back to normal. this was totally involuntary and had never happened before. i don't really know why i'm posting this...maybe someone else has had a similar experience? am i slowly going crosseyed? is looking at a computer screen for hours every day fucking up my eyes? i suppose i should be telling all this to a doctor

I've never had something like that but it seems pretty strange. I remember one time I ran around my block a few times and got dehydrated so I came back inside and everything was blurry - I couldn't read the monitor on my computer much less a newspaper. It freaked me out.

yeah it throws a monkey wrench into reality when suddenly your eyes rebel against the normal mode of sight. it's discombobulating to say the least.

Ive had this happen quite a few times. It used to freak me out, but not anymore bc I know it will just go away. Is quite a strange thing to experience.

what was the weather like? if its about to rain, my vision gets really fucked up and i can't see straight. my head feels like a magnet, its pretty annoying, i'd have a shitty time living in london or seattle :0
but you said you were wearing sunglasses, so thats probably not that case

it's reassuring to know that it's not such a rare phenomenon, and thank god it's only momentary. as it happened i was really worried that i'd be stuck that way. if it happens again at least i'll be prepared

yeah today was really nice hence the sunglasses but it has been raining a lot the past week. it's funny how we can be affected by the weather like you said. one day while i was working outside both my boss and i got sick with the same symptoms just as a big storm was rolling in. makes you realize how connected we are with the environment
