Symptoms of Retinal Thinning: What You Need to Know - Ophthalmology

Will retinal thinning have the following symptoms?

---

Hello Doctor, I am a graduating student from junior high this year.
I usually have tutoring sessions until 9 PM, and I have a keen interest in drawing, which puts a lot of strain on my eyes.
Sometimes, I see a persistent light spot in my field of vision that starts to expand, causing the surrounding area to turn white, along with dizziness, pain, and nausea.
These episodes typically last for about ten minutes before disappearing.
The first occurrence was in fifth grade, but I have experienced this condition less than ten times in total.
After visiting an ophthalmologist, I was told that this is called "scotoma," which might be related to my heart.
The doctor also mentioned that my prescription differs from my retinal condition, indicating retinal thinning and a slightly elongated optic nerve, even though my prescription is only -3.50 diopters.
Sometimes, when I experience chest pain, I see a small dark shadow in the center of my vision.
However, after researching online, I found that my situation doesn't quite match what I read.
I consulted a cardiologist, who found no significant issues, but my eye problems continue to cause me anxiety.
I have a history of depression, so I later went to a large hospital for a check-up, where I underwent a fundus examination and visual field test.
The doctor said everything was normal and suggested I consider seeing a cardiologist or a neurologist.
My mother has scheduled an appointment with a neurology specialist next Thursday.
Here are some of my other symptoms, as I am unsure if they are related, so I will mention my other health conditions as well:
1.
Since childhood, my vision has had a grainy quality, similar to a low-resolution phone camera, but I can see things clearly.
2.
Since childhood, if I don't focus intently, objects appear double.
3.
Sometimes, I see blue and yellow halos on the sides of my vision, especially when looking at black objects or people's hair.
4.
I have floaters.
5.
I see light spots that are not floaters, both black and white, appearing frequently, and recently I have seen flashes resembling a broken light bulb.
6.
There are translucent black shadows covering the edges of my vision, distributed differently in each eye, but the doctor said this is normal and he experiences it too.
7.
Recently, I noticed that when I close one eye, certain small parts of my vision disappear, and when I pass my finger through the center, a small section also disappears.
This happens in both eyes, and I can't tell if it's becoming blurry or actually disappearing, as I don't experience this with larger objects.
8.
Sometimes, when walking down stairs or making jumping movements, if my body experiences significant vibrations and my vision is very bright, I see what looks like blood vessels, similar to what is seen during a fundus examination.
9.
When I close my eyes, I see colors, and sometimes I see two faint circular shapes resembling pupils.
10.
When I move my eyes, I see circular shadows as if I were gently pressing on my eyes.
11.
There was a period when I experienced afterimages.
12.
After staring at something for a while, it begins to shake.
13.
I have a strong aversion to heat, to the point where it feels pathological; sometimes I still feel hot even in an air-conditioned room.
14.
I have difficulty concentrating, my memory has worsened, I have depression, and I am easily irritated.
15.
I frequently experience migraines.
I sincerely apologize for asking so many questions at once.
My mother already works very hard and is quite exhausted from frequently taking me to the hospital, and she is reluctant to take me to see another doctor.
However, my symptoms are distressing, and the doctors have downplayed them as normal.
I also forgot to mention some issues during my visits, so I thought it would be better to detail them here online.
Thank you very much.
