Hello, 6 days ago I had sudden onset of a dark whisper appear in my field of vision. I went to urgent care and doc referred me to ophthalmologist the next morning. I had rentinal tear and doc did laser right then. He had the retinal specialist take a look at it and he did another round of laser on it. It's been 6 days. My vision is like looking into a fogged mirror with strands billowing around. I wonder if it's. Penal to feel agitated by this or somewhat dizzy and off. I think it may be giving me anxiety and irritated. I go back this Tuesday to be checked.

Thank you to anyone who can relate.

    I had retinal laser for a tear and I can relate to the strands flying around. It's been 7 months since the laser and although it has improved it's definitely still distracting for me. It's like a strobe light in my peripheral. Makes me wish I didn't have laser. It depends on the lighting with how bad the static/strobe light effect is. I hope your vision improves.
