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

[K9karen]

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".
