today i was randomly taking pictures of my eyes and noticed something cloudy like on my left eye i thought it was just the lighting so i took a few more and there is something there. i have no pain or sensitivity and my vision isn't really blurry either. i looked this up and cataracts match up the most but I'm only twenty two. i go tanning a couple times a week( i know its terrible) but i ALWAYS use protective eye wear and still keep my eyes shut. I'm making an appointment tomorrow but my anxiety is through the roof over this! image

    Hi. That is the worse thing we do, when we find something new with our bodies, DO NOT ASK DR GOOGLE haha.

    I have to admit I could get a job at the hospital doing medical research alone, I have 99% of the time self diagnosed, but am an old hand to it as have a very extensive medical history.

    Don't look for problems that aren't really there, if you are worried, go to the opticians and get an eye test done, tis the only way to prevent your anxiety sending you to the A&E, ( believe me I know, I've been there myself)

    These sites are here mainly, so we can offload, no one can give a diagnosis online, the best place for that is to go to your own gp.

    I hope this has helped a little, please try not to worry.
