Detailed answer below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again and thanks for asking directly.
There is no reason to worry much more than necessary, your condition is not an emergency.
Every health issue has an impact on psychological state of the patient.
In my opinion your condition needs further evaluation by a Neurologist and contrast enhanced MRI.
If these examinations don't show a reliable cause of your symptoms, after that we can say the vision problems may have a psychological cause.
So I recommend you to peace your mind, enjoy the holidays and later you can continue further examinations.
Pregabalin needs time and dose adjustment to give results on symptoms related to peripheral nerves disfunction, if these symptoms are truly caused by peripheral nerves damage.
Hope I helped you. Wishing you good health.
