Is this rude? or is it just me?

Very rude and uncalled for

Ditto!!

Rude indeed, but she probably didn't really mean anything malicious.

Your symptoms sounds like early cataracts. Some people get them at a younger age than is typical. If it gets to where it is affecting your vision (things being blurry), they can be removed. That surgery is no big deal - the simplest I've ever had done - painless and very quick - just a matter of minutes.

That girl is horrid, but MORE important I would have a second opinion with an opthtomologist done. Floaters people do get more so as we age, but flashes those are a different matter. I work for two eye Dr's and when someone says they have flashes we have them come in ASAP. It could be an occular headace but I truly would get a second opinion. Eyes are tricky and once vision is gone it's gone for the most part. I don't mean to scare you............ Just get it check out in the next couple of weeks, a second opinion is always good. Please keep us posted.
As for Miss Horrid, put her on your ignore list.

That is a great idea, getting a second opinion I mean! The girl however, very insensitive. I would be very hurt by that evil little comment just like you. When people show you who they are, believe them. I'd avoid her. Best wishes with your eye condition. I hope you find excellent treatment and only bond with folks that treat you with kindness and respect.
