What is this?!

Posted , 6 users are following.

So... I really don't know what's going on, and it's kinda hard to describe right now. I'd say about 5 days ago, I received a sudden change in the vision of my right eye after getting off of my computer; for some reason now, the vision in this eye appears as if I've looked through something extremely bright and now it just won't stabilize. It's like my left eye sees things clearly but my right eye is like, I'm looking at things through a light glare, and now it's also like I'm looking through one large illusion. The eye can see, but things are slightly blurry. If I get into area with light, the symptoms are only worse and then my eye may hurt at random times, be it a dull pain or sharp pain. The peripheral vision is somewhat wonky, I can see things in it but I can't see any details. Example: I can see my fridge but because it feels like everything is just one big glare to me, I can see a small amount of I guess pressure. Left eye can see it clearly. Only way it gets WORSE is if I look at a computer screen(with a light background). Right eye can only really focus on the one word that specifically look at, anything else, I can see that the words may be there but at the same time, I only see the light background and in some areas are blind spots, where I can't see anything by light. It's like my eye was damaged somewhere but I don't know where.

I went to an eye doctor and they did a mild dilation, couldn't find anything, and blamed it on Dry Eye. Does this really sound like dry eye?

    Hi Allen

    So sorry to hear of your problems. I've recently been diagnosed with lattice degeneration and a retinal hole, so I know how scary eye problems can be. Im surprised reading through the thread how many of us are suffering from aniexty. It makes me wonder if there's a connection there, win eye health. I've been suffering from aniexty for 10 years now, but had been at its worse this last 6 months. I'd say that some of those symptoms do seem aniexty related. So you use dry eye drops? Also sounds possible that your eyes are strained. Are you using computers a lot?
