Looking for anyone with the same problem, or knows what mine is. I wear glasses and have been for years. For the last month I have noticed that my eyes will get super focused and the room gets bright all of a sudden. I can't pen point what causes it. It happens maybe once a day. And I can't stand it. It scares me, bc It's on out of body feeling. Anyway and info appreciated

Your experience with your eyes seem,for some reason,to function like pair of binoculars. That is,to say,focus at a long distance,or a very close distance. Because you get a "feeling" of an OBE (Out of Body Experience), this may be more of a parapsychological experience with your "mind's eye"
An example of this : ""The next thing I knew, I looked straight out in the woods, and I had an OBE. I saw the lights from the back porch, I was about 100–150 feet away from the house looking at me and my friend."
Can you connect with all the reasons and causes before you have this "feeling" ?

Ryan, I'm all for promoting OBEs and the paranormal, but I doubt you'll ever find out what these episodes are.
I had something similar, maybe the same thing, happen to me perhaps a half-dozen times when I was in my teens. They started for no apparent reason, and ended the same way. Like you, I dreaded them. They were very unpleasant. Mine happened mostly when I entered large, well-lit department stores. Everything became super-clear and I had a feeling of unreality. It's possible, because I feared an episode, that psychologically I brought them on when entering a large building. So watch out for the psychological factor.
On a purely physical basis, going by what happens before a person faints, or hyperventilates (which can be a similar experience of clarity and unreality), these episodes could be influenced by blood pressure, blood sugar, amount of oxygen getting to the brain and eyes--that type of thing.
I wouldn't worry too much about them--although unpleasant, they don't seem to indicate anything serious. As Eyes says take note of what's going on before one happens--are you standing, or sitting, have you eaten or not, where you are, if you have the opportunity to lie down, does that help, etc., etc.
