corneal edema is swelling of the cornea. unlikely if you are not a CL wearer.
Also I do not nor have I ever worn contacts. I used to wear glasses but that was because my job involved driving. I do not wear glasses anymore unless I'm driving at night (which I rarely do). I am 20/50 (i think) but I have no need to wear my glasses especially because they provoke my headache (constant 24/7 pressure in head).
Thanks for you response doc...
What exactly is corenal edama, is it dangerous, what is the prognosis, and would the opthamologist has detected it on a routine exam?
Thanks again.
okay everyone gets the fading peripheral vision afetr 20+ seconds. thats no big deal. NO that is not reall a "brain" problem. thats a chemical process in your retinal receptors...
i get the blurring when staring at an object, i assume its more to do with brain than eyes?
Yes i also wanted to mention that when i stare at one fixed spot for a while (20+ seconds) everything surrounding in my periphreal vision begins to fade away..not so much black out as just blur together
this does not sound neurological to me. this sounds like uncorrected hyperopia (farsighedness) or corneal edema.
are you a contact lens wearer?
you probably need to see a good optometrist, or an optometrist and a corneal specialist.
rinsing with water will likely not help.
