Lighting on eyes

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello everyone

I would like to share my experience, tonight I had a soccer game and at the end of it once I sit down to change clothes I gradually started feeling some issue on my eye/s.

I felt like my right eye mainly ( maybe the left one not much ) started having some kind of waving in the peripheral vision mainly. Like, up and right wing and maybe a little middle if I had to locate it. Like flashes sort of thing.

10yr ago I had something similar after training on my right eye, flashes.

Its duration was like 5-10 minutes and then it stopped.

One thing that I thought but I'm not sure is if it was caused by a ball that went to my head after a lob pass

However it wasn't that powerful, I didn't feel any pain or dizziness at all. That touch happened 10 minutes ago before that eye issue started. Also the soccer ball is soft. We have got many balls in our faces and way strong shots but we didn't have any issue. Do you think it has relation or not at all?

Is it because if the game pressure and or fatigue factor you think? To add further detail, I have floaters already plus I have a lot of anxietyrecently.

Thank you very much in advance! Any opinion is greatly appreciated

    Hi Bill - I don't believe any of us here are medical professionals, but we certainly understand the anxiety surrounding concerns about our eyes! My recommendation is that you make an appointment to see an ophthalmologist. A complete eye exam will provide you with the answers you seek. An optometrist can also do a complete exam and if s/he found anything amiss would refer you to an ophthalmologist. Let us know what you find out and good luck!
