My dad's had all kinds of vision problems. He's legally blind at this point. He started losing his vision due to macular degeneration (the dry kind) when he was about 26.
I never heard him talk about the kind of symptom you described. He had floaters and would start to lose large parts of his vision after migraines or bad headaches. It seemed to accelerate the macular degeneration for some reason.
He did experience on eye problem that I don't know what it was even called, was about 7 years ago. He was on his way home from work, before he got disability for his vision and heart problems, and he said all of a sudden it looked like broken tree branches across his eyes. When he went to the eye doctor they said something about the coating on the back of his eye had dried out and it cracked, which is what created the tree branch effect. So, no only does he hardly see much, what he does see has all this crap tree branch stuff all over it as well.
It's good you're going into the doctor. Vision is one thing that cannot be replaced as of yet, so it's best to not wait around and risk losing it.
