  You don't need an optometrist, you need an ophtalmologist here. If you are unsure, check more than one specialist but that's it. There are a lot of eye conditions that do not necessarily need to be anything to stress about.

      Optometrist is a tech. Ophthalmologist is an MD. I’m surprised the optometrist didn’t refer out.

        That's what should have happened, if only to rule out that something bad is happening. Time is everything with stuff like this.

  Eyes are complicated! Lots goes wrong with them! I had a problem with my right eye that got worse for about 4 months, until it got to the point where it actively interfered with my work and I went to the doctor. Turned out: dry eye. Seriously, it's bananas how much silly stuff can mess with your eyes. You can have bad-quality tears! You have, for instance, an array of little glands that secrete an oil that needs to be in your tears for them to work right. And they malfunction all the time! (That was my diagnosis but wasn't ultimately what the real problem was, which was much dumber). Go see a doctor but also don't freak out about it. You're not going to die next week.
