Split second loss of vision, like a quick blink.
Posted , 19 users are following.
Hello, as in the title, I was reaching up earlier to pull a tack out of the ceiling, and I experienced a very quick loss of vision, like a very fast blink, I can only describe it as a light flickering during a storm.
I don't get migraines, I had an eye test about 3 months ago and there were no problems, I'm a bit short sighted but that's about it.
I've never had it before, I don't really get any problems such as overactive floaters. I do sometimes see a tiny speck of blue light, but that's not often, and slight flashes now and again were mention to the optician.
I'm wondering if it's something I need to revisit the optician about? I also suffer from anxiety so this is something I will probably worry about.

body malfunctions ,and I see an advisor who helps me to cope with
myself, as I have no one, but myself. Believe me, if I only had an eye problem, I would be very happy.You don't always get the answers
that you are looking ,or hoping for on these forums, so it is a fact
of life that we all let off steam sometimes due to the frustration
of not getting better, or help You just pressed my button. or my steam
release valve .Nothing personal really ,,but my eye pain is off the
Richter scale

and stinging ,went back to the clinic, herpes vrus ruled out ,new decision for Dry eye ,differnt drops. which agin I was allergic to, because of the
preservative bas ,more drops without preservative, same problem
stinging and burning Plus there are three white "marks " on the edge
of the cornea I asked the consultant what they were, and was brushed
aside with the comment ""It's nothing that we recognise "" end of
conversation .So,I am back to square one ,in a lot of pain with no resolution and seemingly no one cares I have found that Paracetamol
helps with the pain ,but the problems are .I daren't drive very far. as
the eye starts pouring . Light ,and in particular sunlight causes a major problem It is at hte moment streaming and hurting big time, and no
one will answer the phone

to me at all, as I tried to explain that it was the white marks that I was
concerned about, he couldn't or wouldn't give me an answer I spent four
hours in the hospital and £20 on taxis for nothing except 5 minutes of his couldn't care less attitude,

ones.The outcome from one is, that The pain has gone from plus 10 to 1
The other tube is still being chased ,but what a relief not to have a streaming eye ,it was very bad and painful thi morning
I Can't equate with the Migraine path, as I never get headaches
at all. I think the eye consultant has it nailed with the Dry Eye
syndrome,See how it goes .fingers crossed. I would just like a release
from a couple of my problems ,this eye one in particular I seem to attract
diseases that are incurable.

i feel like its something else but everything's medical related. I know i didn't blink but it was as if i did quickly.. And black. You're the first to put it the way I experience. Its random but happens over a period of time more than once then I forget about it.
