-I don't wear glasses
-I've had 3 surgeries on my left eye, but all 3 were over 10 years ago and they were related to a condition I had - lazy eye.
-I'm in excellent shape. I'd say top 5% of the people my age. I work out 4 days a week and I can run a mile in under 7 minutes. I have a good diet, don't eat a lot of sweets.
-I don't take any supplements, except for just a daily vitamin
-I'm on the computer a lot
-I get 6.5 to 8 hours of sleep each night
-I have allergies, but they mostly affect me in the summer
Once again, the problem occurs in only my right eye. I would appreciate any expert's opinion on what I might have here, and if it's serious or not. If this isn't the right community to post it in, I'm sorry, if there is a better one for eye problems please tell me. I couldn't find another community that really deals with eye problems/questions.
Thank youView Thread

The multiple images are fairly crisp, but there are many of them (over 6-7), arraigned in a semicircular pattern.
(Also, moving a pencil at arms length, allows me to block out any of the multiple images).
It has gotten worse in the last year.
It has been suggested that this could be a cataract, however, this does not seem to explain the perfect semicircle of duplicate images.
Thanks,

This phenomenon has been happening to me for the past 3-4 years, possibly more.View Thread
This-morning I was doing my usual routine, had just finished my first coffee and was getting a reful in the kitchen.
Suddenly my vision was invaded by over 50 specks of light, the common kind that we all see now and then. This time there was over 50 of them, and they were in a circle around my vision. None were in the center.
This lasted for about 5 seconds, then disappeared.
This has never happened before at this level. I am concerned that my retina is damaged.
I am only 28, and read that this is supposed to happen at 50 or 60.View Thread
I have had two or three standard eye exams since I first noticed them and the Doctor didn't say anything was out of the ordinary.
I am just kind of curious as to what these could be and if I should be super worried.View Thread
Anybody able to enlighten me on what may be the problem?View Thread
Not painful, I can tell it is there - fells like it is congestion from my nose.View Thread
