Question:
Odd vision problem. Looking for some help.?
You know that feeling when you first get up and your eyes need a second to focus? Well yesterday they couldnt focus all day!
Its kinda hard to explain cause I could see clearly yet alot of things had a shadow effect to them. Words for instance would appear to have a shadow underneath them....yet I could see the words just fine. It was distracting. The shadow was basically an exact replica of the word..under the word. It happened from my left eye only because I did an alternating cover test and my right eye didnt show the shadow.
I have alternating strabismus if thats any help...but have always had 20/20...they just dont work together.
Today my eyes are fine... sore but no shadow effect..which would seem to rule out an acuity problem.
I have an appointment for 6/6 with an opthalmologist but I was wondering if anyone has had this. It happened once before but only lasted a few hours as opposed to all day yesterday.
Any thoughts?
Answers:
Good that you called an opthamalogist, and if you told them what happened and they didn;t schedule you until the 6th, then it can;t be too serious....................cou... have been any number of things, even a migraine restricted to your eye!! Yes, it has happened to people I know and their symptoms are similar-as long as you informed the Dr. of what had happened, you are probably OK til then.
