If you’ve recently had laser eye surgery and suddenly find yourself dealing with persistent migraines, you’re not alone. Honestly, I didn’t expect that my vision correction journey would come with a side of throbbing temples and light sensitivity. While laser eye surgery can be life-changing in terms of ditching glasses, it’s also a big adjustment…
So here’s the thing—I’ve always been a big fan of essential oils. Lavender in the diffuser before bed, peppermint when I have a headache, and even a little tea tree diluted for skin. But I remember one time, right after trying a new blend someone recommended, I noticed these weird little floaty specks in my…
There’s something unsettling about those drifting shapes that suddenly appear in your vision — especially when they seem to show up right after a heated argument or a moment of deep anxiety. I still remember the first time it happened to me. I’d just gone through a particularly tough few weeks at work, and out…

I remember the first time I noticed it. I was scrolling through my phone after a long day and suddenly felt a bit lightheaded. The weird part? No spinning, no nausea—just an…
If you’ve ever been out in the sun, blinked quickly, and noticed tiny shapes darting across your vision—kind of like specks, squiggles, or transparent threads—you’re not alone. I used to think it was just my eyes adjusting to brightness. Turns out, it’s a lot more interesting (and sometimes frustrating) than that. These visual disturbances are…
You ever get that weird moment when your vision feels just… off? Like a short fog rolls over your eyes, and then—bam—little squiggly floaters start dancing around your line of sight.
