ocassional sudden vision loss?

Question

since i was about 16 (i'm 21 now) i have had these strange ocassional sudden patial vision loss, its like a piece of burry cling film over a bit of my eye. However it only happens maybe once a year. i have slight pain in my eye afterwards but it only lasts 10mins or so then my usual vision is back for another year or so. im too scared to see a doc or optician

Answer 1

You should see your eye doctor for an examination. He/she can direct you to the right sources. It's better to find out than to worry about it.

Answer 2

You've got more than enough directions to see the doctor but with this one I'll give you some options. Is going blind something you want to do soon? How about becoming brain dead? Or even just dead soon? I'm not a doctor, but not only could this be a vision problem, but it could also be signs of a stroke. Doctor yesterday. The options and not knowing are scarier than what the doctor will tell you. Good luck.

Answer 3

You need to get over being scared of going to the doctor, this is your vision.

You may have a small tumor that is growing inside your sinus and pressing on your optic nerve.

It is not normal to have your vision suddenly become only partial or blurry. Pain in your eye is not a good thing either.

I have had vision problems all of my life, have worn eyeglasses since I was two, and had to have three surgeries on my eyes before I was eight years old.

You are only given two eyes and you need to get to the doctors as soon as possible.

Grow up and take care of yourself, it is your responcibility to be the healthiest you can be.

I used to lose my vision every so often. It was just like a fog had come down, when I next saw my optician I mentioned it to him . He asked me if I ever suffered migraines. I said yes,
He told me what I was suffering with was a form of migraine. I had no major headache symptoms like previous attacks just this loss of vision.
I checked with my doctor and he agreed it was most likely migraine. There are a lot of different types and symptoms of migraine from severe stomach ache to violent headaches to loss of sight. But you should still see a doctor to get it confirmed. There's not a lot I can do about it , I tend to just go and lie down until it passes.

Answer 5

you might have something real simple such as dry eye or suffer from ocular migraines. do you lose vision or just notice that your eye feels as if there is a film over it and if you blink a few times it clears up.that may be just dryness, but if you are noticing a complete loss of vision you should really see a dr. iam not a Dr. but i do work as a ophthalmic tech.

Answer 6

I really think you should get a medical check up. Looking at your age it is unlikely to be anything serious. It is however foolish to bury your head in the sand! It may be something as simple as a migraine variant, but things like your eye pressures should be checked. In my experience few of my colleagues bite!

Answer 7

don't be scared the best thing to do is is to pop in to opticians
better than losing sight all together and they can tell by looking in to your eyes what the problem is go for it.

Answer 8

Erm , you really need to go to the doctor asap. You could hasve a tumour or anything, surely fidning out it's nothing, or finding out it's something and having your life saved is enough to shift your butt down their?

Answer 9

Go to a doctor.
