Well, looks like I'll sleep easy tonight! I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

FRANK Moderator Posts: 5108 Kudos: 5263 Votes: 1690 Registered: 28-Dec-2002	Hi, Both of you need to see an Ophthalmologist, not an Optometrist. The Optometrist is a doctor that handles the physics of the eye in relation to clarity of sight. They can look into your eye and see some problems,but if anything is found, they will probably refer you to an Opthalmologist, who is a doctor of the eye, and is specialized in treating diseases of the eye and surgery. Those flashes can indicate all sorts of problems, none good, and the "floaters" can indicate bleeding within the eye. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--

It's kind of like white fireflies are flying around above me, but then they vanish when I actually move my head to look up at them. I usually only see one at a time, and sometime they are faint and other times they are really bright. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004	I actually have noticed that i have a weird problem aswell. When i focus on something (eg, the sky, or the ceiling) i see little Wiggly lines in the corner of my eyes. If i try and look directly at the lines they always move away. I don't know if this is normal or what But i'm use to it now and it doesn't affect my sight. So it doesn't really bother me. Last edited by PJ at 10-Jan-2005 00:11

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	have you ever had a migraine? Nope, although during, ummm, "that time" of the month, I do get extremely bad cramps and nausea (endometriosis I think) No headaches though... Keith, I'm actually a bit nearsighted, and my mom was thinking about scheduling an appointment with an optometrist about that to see if it's bad enough that I need gasp glasses. Maybe I'll ask then.

I very strongly suggest you contact an eye specialist very quickly.
