Mine began as a shadow the grew until I was almost blind. The optometrist saw nothing wrong. I went to the emergency room. They sent me to an opthalmologist for emergency surgery. It's much better now. The procedure is painful and long but worth it.

A retinal detachment is a serious condition you might think about going to the doctor or losing your vision.

@suruxstrawde8322 6 месяцев назад

Had one of the worst headaches of my life a year or so ago, saw dots burnt into my vision, a significant amount of new floaters, and a black spot in the top of one of my eyes. Almost all of that is gone now tho and idk how, minus the floaters tho, they're still annoying. Even went to an eye doctor and they said nothing was wrong.

@ForeverMPH Месяц назад

Did it last for about 20 minutes? It could be an ocular migraine.

@suruxstrawde8322 Месяц назад

@@ForeverMPH hhh, ye it definitely pained my eyes a lot and was a migraine, I think I was sick at the time too(?) That's relatively common for me but not the spots or floaters, from what I've researched that sounds like a blood vessel leaked and several others pressed on the ocular nerve.

Any updates?

@suruxstrawde8322 12 дней назад

@@StrongBodyandMind33 The floaters seem permanent, very obviously clumps of blood cells as I can see the cell shapes. It's almost exclusively when I'm extremely tired or physically stressed- but I occasionally see tiny flashes in my eyes that overlay my vision. Haven't gone to a doctor for it again but I should def find a way to just ask one about it. My conclusion is that somehow the fluid pressure in/around my skull is almost always high despite me having very evident orthostatic blood pressure and terrible circulation just about everywhere else. Almost like there's something loosely blocking flow only out of my head.

@@suruxstrawde8322 maybe a pinched nerve or a muscle knot or something along those lines? You say being physically exhausted is a contributor, I’m wondering if that’s the case about my floaters as well. I’m taking a break from lifting weights to see if they can heal

@georgelouis6515 Год назад

I see the flashes of light but only when closing my eyes. And I can see something almost floating in my vision with my eye closed. But doctors make me light headed and stress me out.

@isak4238 Год назад

Go to the doctor, it's way better ro go early than too late. If you have a retinal detachment the option is going to the doctor or become blind.

@georgelouis6515 Год назад

@@isak4238 it’s been over a month and I’m not blind yet. Also I have a lot of money problems right now. I have auto problems and I’m not paying 750 dollars for an eye exam. Sure after I pay it if I need the laser my insurance would cover it but I can’t afford 750 right now. Odds are I won’t go blind.

Please guys I need big help here. I've been treated for diabetic neuropathy on my eye for 6 years by a special retina specialist, with injections and LASIK. But this Saturday on 12/ 24/ 2023 I woke up and I could not see clear at all from my left eye, it's like a very filmy darkish shadow. Unfortunately it happened on Christmas weekend and my eye specialist was closed, and I'm so scared because I can't see, I only see shadows, is it vitreous problem? Thank you. If anyone can return my message I really appreciate it. I'm going to see my retina specialist tomorrow ASAP they open 😥

@MrJpo58 2 месяца назад

My right eye has experienced these problems after a retinal doctor took a retinal picture of my eye the machine burnt both my eyes . After 4 days of pain not being able to focus my eyes I received steroid drops and went to a new eye doctor. I'm getting flashes floaters and lines in my right eye that was perfectly normal no floaters great vision because of this picture funny thing is no one will admit to this hurting my eye sight.

What if after I eat high msg food like Ramen or other soup in Japan, all the sudden the lights go super bright for few seconds? I researched and saw a link with high msg and it affecting the retina. I did one day see lots of new black floaters for a couple of days, i thought it was maybe eye makeup I forgot to wash off that got in my eye. I went t the eye dr and he said np. But he didn't dilate my pupils, is that whats needed to check the retina? Thanks.

@benedettocracolici197 6 месяцев назад

Go see a retired specialist. 2 months ago I had what is called vitreous hemorrhage, it is a stroke between the back of the eyes , thanks to diabetes. Went to see my retina specialist and told me the best way to go with this is surgery, because after 2 Eylea injections wasn't getting clear. So Today as Match 13th I had the surgery and everything went well. So go and see a Retina specialist ASAP

Just for a laugh of the day. One time remember asking the Chinese chef do not put MSG on my food. So what did he put in? He put in HBO, so when I got home I started watching TV really well.
