Is this rude? or is it just me?

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.
