Strange vision

I’ve got £80 reading glasses and £1 glasses. The £1 ones are much better to wear, they help a great deal to see the near stuff without making the further away stuff so blurred you get an instant migraine.
The £80 prescription glasses are great if you need a microscope for something.
My optician must see me coming and says ahh hello James £300 please as I walk in

Hello any doctors look in here???

I've recently been noticing a strange shimmering flashing shape in the left side of my vision.
The shape is a < shape yes a < shape.
It's in the left side of my vision quite large too wether I close 1 or both eyes it's still there But then can suddenly disappear, I had iritus when it was 15 ish I'm now 35.
It comes on suddenly and goes just as quick I sometimes take a paracetamol but this I can't confirm helps or not...

It's like a lightening very fast flashing shimmering effect
I can't really describe it I'm sorry

Thank you
I get that , goes after a while .

Strange.

Heard a thing on radio 4 a while back about migraines and they followed some sufferers who made a recording about attacks when they happened. Really interesting and they linked them with creativity and seeing the environment around them in a different light. Basically from tripping on lsd to increased sense of smell, taste and an elevated impression of colours etc. Don’t know if it’s still available as a podcast or whatever but worth looking up.

Hello all
Been into the hospital and been given the all clear, I had numerous scans and checks there is "deposits" in the back of my eye in which there happy to monitor them a more detailed scan of scan has given a clearer image.
The deposits are the naturally occurring type....

The bright image I'm seeing is a optical migraine which dosnt manifest into a headache, They were concerned about the optical nerve being uneven the most


So all clear

And thank you

James
Good to hear you got all clear. I have had eye issues earlier in the the year. Had a black shadow in my vision one day and within about 48 hrs I was undergoing surgery for a detached retina. Now all clear with the only change to my sight being I now need to wear glasses for reading. Could have lost my sight in the one eye if l had left it too late. Had a great service from the NHS. If in doubt get it checked out.

I noticed a lot of floating bits in one eye so did the usual thing and left it for a while to clear up , when I eventually went to spec savers at 3.30 for a checkup I ended up at hospital that evening then eye hospital next morning and operation for detached retina at 12.30 ( very weird watching someone hoovering bits inside your eye then fill eye with gas to push retina back in place followed by 7 days keeping head in one place ) then cataract as result of the op fixed 3 months later , now need a quick zap with a laser to finish the job . No complaints about NHS here , definitely had my money worth .

Not my area of interest but the eye department dont hang about.
