my eye sight has just gone funny :(

[buggi]

i'm reading on my laptop and i noticed that just to the left the words disappear, like i can't see them in my perifpheral vision (or however you spell it). so i look round the room and i've noticed that when i focus on something, just to the left there is nothing there.

should i be worried?

now its come back, but further left i can see a kind of fuzzy bit, like it's moved, can't explain it. it's like a distortion

ps. it just frightened to poo out of me

Migraine - thumping head to follow. Take Ibuprofen now.

Without wanting to worry you...yes.

<Unless you have just finished a bottle of wine in which case you should just accept it as a consequence>.

NO!!! not drunk now i am worried. maybe something is in my eye.

don't suffer from migraines and never had fuzzy eyes before a headache before.

you can get those floaty things in your eyes can't you? maybe its one of those. maybe my eyes are tired?

the fuzzy bit has gone right to the left now.

I think they are called floaters,seem to get worse the more tired you are.Nothing to worry about if it is.

I don't suffer from Migraines. I've had similiar twice, almost exactly the same. It was a good half hour before the mother of all headaches hit. First peripheral vision went on one side, then the other, then a bit spotty, then it began to clear and then the headache hit.

Ring NHS24 if you want advice.

it's gone now.

maybe it was a funny nerve. it seemed to move left and then disappear.

Joking apart, give them a call. Once you have I'll tell you a story....

But not before.

i'm almost hoping for the mother of all headaches now guys at least then i could put it down to that. its definitely gone. it was really weird. i thought it was a weird font on the email, but when i focused on the time on my DVD player, the bottle that is next to it just disappeared.

i think i just sh!t myself up. probably just tired.

don't tell me anything that's gonna make me poo my pants! it seems fine now, if it happens again i will call the NHS people. i might just book myself in for an eye test, haven't had one for yonks.

If its floaters,we all have them to varying degrees,some see them more than others,its just the fluid in our eyeballs moving and possibly outside our eyeballs too.

Good as it is,its normally a nurse who advises you to go and see your doc,unless she is specialist in your problem,or a doc happens to be there too which is rare.

yea, i've phoned before at night and they always tell me to go to the docs at my local hospital. will pop into the opticians on Monday. must admit, it did shoot me up a bit, but think i just spooked myself, prob just tired.

Definitely get it checked out... sounds like temporary restriction of blood supply to retina, for whatever reason, but certainly get it checked out.
