Does Anxiety Cause Unfocused Vision?

Hi there, I m a 20 year old young woman who has just been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and I m meant to be tested for PTSD soon. For the past few years since first struggling with symptoms, I ve been unfocused visually. I bought glasses and these helped slightly (in terms of keeping pain away from my eyes). Then I didn t notice any difference and stopped wearing lenses, but my eyes are still unfocused quite often - noticeably worse when I m stressed and goes along with brain fog. My question is: is this only about anxiety (eg don t need new glasses) or could it be an actual problem with my eyes?
