Distortion persists > 6 months
Hi doctor. From last 6 months I am experiencing slanted vision.. straight lines appear bent/curved. The rectangular television screen looks trapezoid. I am able to drive and do everyday tasks but distorted shapes still frustrate and annoy me. Been to 3 opthalmologists, dilated exam, retinal Oct and corneal topography ..all the tests have come out normal. I was quite stressed and anxious before the symptoms started ,I have general tendency to think a lot...hence I suspected mental stress as the cause. But now it has been 6 months, and stress is not always consistent. I am taking ssri for its management and each morning I wake up fresh,feeling that today I will see straight,yet I fail. I also came across a forum where 3 people reported exact same symptoms,their eye tests were normal too but then forum got closed in 2016 and I don't know how they got cured.My brain MRI (without contrast) is normal. I didn't go for with contrast due to fear of needles. please help.

Hi..mostly slanted vision is due to uncorrected cylindrical power or any issue with Retina or Brain. As per you, all are normal. May be you can get some counselling and treatment for stress too.
