I got floaters 2 months ago. i freaked out about them and got them checked out. my eyes were fine, but now i see halos and starbursts. anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Halos: Neither anxiety nor floaters cause halos and star bursts. Usually they are caused by a condition on the surface of the eye or in the cornea. Astigmatism and certain optical aberrations can also cause them. Go see your eye MD and tell of your new conditions.
