Any Opticians or Doc's? Eye/Vision Question
Discussion
Hi,
Just somthing I'm curious about. When I was younger, occasionally, my vision would go a bit funny and would make everything look smaller than it actually was. I.e the TV would look miles away, my arms would look four times longer than usual....but the vision was still perfectly clear.
Id forgotten that this used to happen but then it happened again last night. It went away quite quickly and its not uncomfortable in any way - is it something to be worried about?

Yup, I used to get that when I was younger, mostly when trying to get to sleep. Not a nice feeling. Not had it for a while now.
Yeah, me either until last night. Most peculiar. Still, at least I now know I'm not the only freak! 
I'm afraid you're turning into what we scientists call 'a freak of nature'. Bruce Banner famously had this condition - he noticed that things looked much smaller. The sad fact was that things remained precisely the same size, it was he who was getting larger.
Have you looked in the mirror while this is happening?
Are your trousers in shreds after such an event?
Are the military showing an unusual interest in you?

Sounds a tad like OCD.
An irrational obsession where the compulsion is to seek re-assurance.
Do you feel panicky when it happens too ?
Nope, calm as a sedated sloth.An irrational obsession where the compulsion is to seek re-assurance.
