I work as a microblading and semi permanent make up artist which obviously involves close work under bright lights including a bright spotlight over the clients face.
Been doing it a couple years now never had any issues. but in the last few weeks while working on clients usually about half hour into a treatment my short to mid distance vision gets slightly blurry. I'm fine close up ie looking at the clients face and also in the distance. but looking at things around 6-10 feet in front of me I'd say, it's almost like when you've been staring at a bright light and I struggle to focus on certain stuff. I see slightly blurry spots. It goes off after about half hour after I finish my client.
Always Have regular eye tests and been fine Altho I've always been v short sighted (minus 7😳) but corrected with glasses and contact lenses. I've booked an eye test for tomorrow but I'm bricking it
My general vision is fine and unchanged since my last eye exam. but it's just during and for a short while after I've been working 😔
I would hate to give up my work I love it. But what if it is ruining my eye slight? And also my mind is going to even worse scenarios in case it's not even vision related but like something badly wrong (I have bad anxiety anyway particularly health related) . But I'm hanging on to the fact it is perfectly fine when I'm not working
Anyway if anyone in Similar work has had similar or if any opticians around I would appreciate some advice or hand holding please 😔
