What Causes Cross Vision Along With Dizziness And Light Headedness?
I work from home and I am constantly on the computer at least 12 hours a day. Lately I have been feeling very light headed, tired, dizzy and my eyes are feeling like they are crossed. I went to my medical doctor and had a CBC done & the results came out normal I also had my thyroid checked it was normal as well. Today I continue to feel like my eyes are getting crossed and it really scares me. Any thoughts on what could be happening to me? Thanks

Hi,
There are several potential causes for your symptoms, but it's difficult to diagnose without a physical exam or more information. Some possible causes include:
* Eye strain or fatigue from prolonged computer use: Staring at a computer screen for long periods can cause eye strain, which can lead to headaches, blurred vision, and dizziness. Taking regular breaks to rest your eyes and adjusting your monitor's brightness and contrast may help.
* Binocular vision problems: This occurs when the eyes are not aligned and can cause double vision, difficulty focusing, and eye strain. A visit to an eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam can help determine if this is the case.
* Inner ear problems: The inner ear plays a crucial role in balance, and problems with it can cause dizziness and vertigo. This could be due to an infection, inflammation, or a disorder like Meniere's disease.
* Neurological problems: Issues with the brain or nervous system can also cause symptoms like dizziness and crossed vision. These may include migraines, multiple sclerosis, or a stroke.
It's recommended to follow up with your doctor or a specialist for further evaluation and diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
