Tic causing heath problems.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a bit of advice because one of my tics is genuinely causing me health problems.

I have a tic that involves pressing my thumb into my right eye. It’s one of my most common tics along with eye straining that I have. What I’ve found out today at the optician is that my eye sight in my right eye has got much worse since my last appointment and she found this strange. I didn’t tell her why I thought this had happened.

I’m just wondering if anyone has conquered a particular tic that has caused you health problems? I would happy swap it for another less damaging tic but I just can’t seem to do it. Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks for taking the time to read my post and any recommendations would be appreciated.
