Visual Disturbance: Scotoma, After image, Visual Aberration Has anyone experience this?
Posted , 5 users are following.
Okay, I know I'm not good at explaining things but I have been experiencing some visual disturbance. The first time I notice it its at the lower corner f my left eye. Its like faint white cloud sometime greyish circle forming in your vision that doesnt go away and gets bigger when you move/tilt your your head or even when you move your eyes sometimes it flickers. It's really hard to explain but it started in left eye but now I have it in both of my eyes.... I'm also having this after image or something like when a camera flash in your eyes and theres a negative image I usually see it after looking at my computer screen or phone. I havent visited my doctor because I dont have money but I am really worried about my vision

Need to get your eye examined by an eye dr. You say you don't have mioney so I assume that you are in the US?
So what do you usually do when ill?

I live in the Philippines. I am currently unemployed and we don't have free eye check up here unlike other country we do have charity hospital but the problem is that they don't have enough facility and machine for eye check up.

So sorry I don't know what to suggest you do need to have an eye check up really. We can only speculate about what it may be but only an eye doctor can diagnose this. X

It's frustrating sometimes thats why I am always asking or joining forums like this to know if anyone also experience the same and ask support because its actually causing me panic attack. I'm 25 years old and already experiencing all this visual disturbances I'm scared but hopefully when I have money I'll get my eyes checked

We empathise with you. Is it possible for you to tell us where exactly you are so that we may search for a way of helping you?
I have panic attacks caused by similar sorts of worries about the NHS and how it is declining and only a few minutes ago on the news there was news about another accident and emergency unit closing down in Chorley Lancashire.
As I said I too have panic attacks and seizures due to epilepsy and a thyroid problem . I have floaters in my eyes and have to have them checked out regularly. Thankfully I am lucky because we have a very good eye hospital only 8 miles away.
I know that that does not help you but at least you know that you are not alone.
Please let us try to help you and let us know were u are .
which are made worse by worries abpout
assessing healthcare and I live in England. I hope that that may be of some consolation to you.

I so agree that you need to have your eyes checked but add that I have had this for about 11 years (currently controlled with medication) and only once during that period had mild uveitis. But you need to get it checked for sure. You can't take chances with your eyes and even if there is a chance of something like uveitis you would need treatment.
