Hello everyone (pardon the bad grammer years of txt typing screwed up my literecy skills) I would like to ask for some opinions on my issues with my vision, it started about 2 months ago I woke up one morning with flashing in my peripheral vision it passed within a few days my vision has been reduced(now I need glasses) I now see shimmering in my vision (which has cleared up quite a bit in the last 2 months) in my house in the dark is where I mainly see it in the light or outside I don't notice it at all unless I'm looking for it, which is all the time now that I've noticed it I find it harder to see in the dark or look at dark objects and I noticed recently that the whites of my eys are blueish and vainy(red) the optician said my eyes were ok and that I'm just short sighted and my gp said I was ok but if I still felt something was wrong I should come back in a month I have a little issue with glare after images (when I close my eyes) but that's decrease significantly as well. Should I book an appointment with another optiction or should I wait and see like the gp said

Should also mention that I can't tell exactly but I think my pupils are not dilating in the dark but I can't find a way to test if they really are dilating or not

Did your GP examine your eyes with a slit lamp? They don't usually have one available to them. An Optician can examine your eyes & can refer you to the Hospital Eye Service too if necessary.
I wonder whether you have the beginnings of a cataract? Perhaps you should go back to the Optician you saw & say you are still having problems & ask whether it is a cataract.
