2. The eye doctor will make sure that there are no problems with the cataract replacement implant and no retinal problems which could cause the flashing lights.
3. If all looks normal the half moons that you see in your peripheral vision may represent "dysphotopsia". This is a very common phenomenon seen with modern implant lenses. For many, it is noticeable but gets less bothersome with time. In rare circumstances, another procedure is needed to address the symptom.View Thread

It's a good idea to get a full ophthalmic exam although it's likely to normal while you are not having this symptom.
In addition to the eye exam, let your primary care doctor know about the occurrence.View Thread


A call and visit to the cataract surgeon sounds like a good idea to me.View Thread



The information you provided is very helpful in order to make a good decision.View Thread









I have a very different vision when I wake-up, than I go to sleep. I may see a sign at 10 feet away daytime, but not seeing it (reading the sign) at 1 feet nightime, but not always.
The blurring and starlights accentuated.
But the most annoying thing is that I have some kind of bubble that for years was never there. Some time it is quite black, some time it is darker on the margins, some other times is more like a smudge. Some time there are two, instead of one. Also they do not always have a rectilinear trajectory. I can see the bubble moving up and than disappear, for example, than appear in another part. They vary in dimensions.
I've seen two retina specialists and they say the retina is attached and my vision is good, giving the circumstances. But the bubble(s) is still there. Also it is awkward that some time I can't see one feet ahead, when the next time I can see quite far (and everything in between). But the bubble worry me most.
What are those kind of bubbles? Any advise?
Thank you for letting me share with you.

It sounds like your corneas were abraded under your contact lenses. This can come from oxygen deprivation caused by the contact lenses and other issues as well.
The main take-home message is that the contacts must come out immediately with any discomfort or redness. If this does not resolve within a few hours, you must see your eye doctor because severe issues can occur in contact lens wearers.
As you experienced, an abraded cornea is a very painful situation and a wake up call that you must see your eye doctor immediately.View Thread




Nutritional supplements for the macular issue are appropriate as well as viewing an Amsler grid chart at home once a week to detect any new changes. Many doctors prefer nutritional supplements which contain the AREDS 2 ingredients.
If the doctor feels that you have glaucoma and your optic nerve is at risk, controlling the eye pressure is appropriate.
Many people with your eye issues continue to have good vision for their entire lives. But the preventative measures and close follow up by the eye doctor are important.View Thread





One likes to remain in reason health/ eye sight as long as one lives. Any experience/suggestions in in the regard.
Thanking youView Thread
















this will likely involve patching the "good" eye. the sooner the child starts using the injured eye, the better.
corneal scars tend to get somewhat better with time. this entire process will require a great deal of dedication and effort in order to exercise and improve the injured eye. but it can be done.View Thread


no shortcuts possible here. see the ophthalmologist.View Thread








There are ophthalmologists who specialize in treating people with inflammation inside their eyes. Uveitis specialists.View Thread










Time to go see an ophthalmologist or better yet, a pediatric ophthalmologist to get accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.View Thread
