left eye problem?

Question

Have had for several years a noticible thin smear on my
left eye that starts in the white portion and is covering part
of the pupil thus causing blurred vision when I close my
right eye, yet when both eyes are open I see clearly, is
it a growth of sometype and does it need to be treated
and if so can medication help other than surgery?

Answer 1

I have something similar in my left eye -- it's kind of blurry too -- if I was smart I would have seen an eye doctor long ago -- but I keep putting it off and it keeps getting worse -- I hope you're smarter then me and have it checked by a doctor -- hopefully it correctable if caught early enough .. I suppose you could check with WebMD they have a symptom checker on the right hand side of the main page http://www.webmd.com

eeewwwww.....I have no idea, but you need to go and have that checked out.

Does it move around or does it stay put? Maybe it's just some of that eye crap (as we call them around here, "eye boogers") but you never know.

I had something like that a while back and it was basically caused by a scratched cornea (very painful). My eye was making tons of that yucky stuff and it kept floating into the eye.

Really, when it has to do with your vision, you should have it checked right away, to make sure you don't suffer any vision loss.

It sounds like it could be glaucoma. Symptoms of glaucoma vary according to the type of glaucoma you have. If you have open-angle glaucoma (OAG), the only symptom you are likely to notice is vision loss. Side (peripheral) vision is usually lost before central vision. You may not notice side vision loss until it becomes severe because the less affected eye makes up for the loss. The loss of sharpness of vision (visual acuity) may not become apparent until late in the disease. By that time, significant vision loss has occurred. Closed-angle glaucoma (CAG) may cause no apparent symptoms or only mild symptoms. You may experience short episodes of symptoms (subacute closed-angle glaucoma) that usually occur in the evening and are over by morning, or you may have severe (acute) symptoms that require immediate medical attention. Symptoms of closed-angle glaucoma usually affect only one eye at a time and often include: Sudden, severe blurring of vision. Severe pain. The pain may occur in the eye itself or in certain areas immediately around the eye. See an illustration of possible areas of pain associated with CAG. Colored halos around lights. Redness of the eye. Nausea and vomiting.

If you have had it for several years, it may be a groeth that will get worse with time and you do need a doctor to assess whether you will need surgery
