Hi there the past couple of months ago strange things have been happening to my eye sight,while its not really a massive problem im worried about it turning into something serious,I wear glasses to use the computer which im on alot to be honest my eyes aint even that bad I just use the glasses for the computer and reading as I cant see small letters too well,anyway this odd thing happens to me at night,say im watching tv in the dark with no light for a while,I will go to the toilet and turn the light on which is kind of bright,when I roll my eyes up and down I see this dark shadow sort of sheet it only seems to happen at night can someone help please?

    Its very difficult for any person or even a Gp to tell what is wrong with eyes as they need all the equipment to see inside your eye. If you are concerned you should see an optician ASAP.   It may only be the contrast between light and dark,causing an after image on your retina,or it could be something more serious.  Dont neglect any problem with eyes,it doesnt have to be painful to be serious and needing attention.

      Well done you are doing the right thing in getting an eye test. Do mention the problem.

      If it gets worse or you develop other sight problems,do see your doctor after your eye test.    Try watching TV with the light on to see if that gets rid of the problem.
