Wondering if anyone can help.

Posted , 3 users are following.

As far back as I can remember, I've been zoning out from time to time, it's very intense and I can't seem to snap out of it for a few minutes at least. My parent's were never very observant and didn't care too much about my health so they never noticed it but it has been happening much more frequently these days, Anyways. When I met my girlfriend last year she started noticing that my left eye was going off to the side severely when i'd have these episode's. I have noticed my vision becoming worse the last year as well. It's hard to focus on thing's especially when they're far away and She's also noticed my eye doing it when I wake up in the morning. I've not been to the eye doctor yet because I'm very good at just putting thing's off to the side for as long as I can but I'm very curious about it. A few weeks ago while we were on Skype, I actually got to see it for myself due to the lag in video. I'd just opened my eyes and it went off to the left side and up. It startled me quite a bit. So if anyone has any thought's or advice for me. It'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    You should make an appointment with an Neurologist, it doesn't sound like an eye issue at all, more likely a neurological issue. It could be a very mild seizure.. Partial seizure perhaps? You though certainly need to get yourself checked and an MRI should be asked for.

    Get some advice from an optician / doctor and follow it! Don't leave it to get worse.Putting off a problem is never a good idea, I know because I have done it!
