Can my eye problems be anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which eye problems?: Without knowing what kind of eye problems you mean, it's hard to answer this question. Your first clear step would be to be examined by an ophthalmologist, a specialist in eye problems. Optometrists work with eye problems also, but generally focus on eyeglass prescriptions and screening for eye disease. They often refer out to ophthalmologists.
