Shimmering blind spot after laser retinadefect

Posted , 2 users are following.

Does anybody else had this symptom. i had a little tear in my retina and it has been lasered by the docter. after a week or so ive been seeing a shimmering/flickering blind spot in my field, which is constant. its right in my field and also down by my nose. ive been to.the doctor a couple of times but they said my retina is good. im having troubles concentrating and focusing due to this condition. im also having migraines.

Are there any people who experience the same things and does it improve? what is causing this effects? does anybody know this?

    the sad part is even alot of the retina Drs deny this happens and they make you feel like thr crazy one. You will have to wear dark dark glasses outside and try to avoid flourescents inside. Im sorry you are having to deal wih this.

    in the discussion i pointed you to some have had improvments after a year but there is no guarantee it will stop
