Question - "glittery" pattern in front of eye(s) Update #11

[Catty1]

Heading out the door to my appt right now. Will update when I get back.

Not REALLY worried...but concerned.

I think I'm in more danger from the possibly slippery sidewalks on the way back with DILATED eyes!

Take it easy & I hope you get a clean bill of health from the Dr.

Good news and bad news. Good news is that he could find NOTHING at all out of place.

Bad news is that he doesn't know what caused the glittery thing.

So - I just watch out for the symptoms he mentioned to me, and head back if any of them crop up.

THOSE DROPS! Streetlights and headlights are BIG STARRY THINGS. And my monitor lights up my office!

And I type with my head down because the monitor hurts my eyes. A bit.
So will catch up later. THANK YOU for all the good thoughts and wishes!

When you're able to catch up, you'll see my post adding to the well wishes. I'm glad the dr. couldn't find anything wrong. Maybe it was eye strain? Whatever the case, be sure to rest those precious eyes tonight.

Ick. I think the dilation is WORSE than any vision exam. I'm out of it for hours afterwards.

I had a detached retina and never knew it. It was found during a routine exam and caught on time. Unbelievably, it may have happened that morning somehow, cause I had no symptoms. Whew! Had it zapped instantly.

I'm just thrilled that you're OK, Candance. Eyes are nothing to mess with. Glad your doctor fit you in. Maybe it was the fizz in the seltzer water ..ya know how sometimes the bubblies get inside your brain?

I'm glad everything checked out ok. I had the glittery,kaleidoscope
like flashing lights also, but my Dr said it was just a symptom of the
kind of migraines I was having. Did your Dr say they would fade away
with time?

As a migraine patient, I know that whatyou describe can be a warning for an upcoming attack! I believe they call it an "aura".
