Left eye LAVA LAMP syndrome

[skyle11]

In my left eye, in the outer 50-60%, not imposing upon vision but sometimes close, is a 24/7 lava lamp aura that is now 9-months of hel  I don't believe it is in the retina, I have seen multiple specialists!!! Neuro, epileptic, 2-mri,1EEG. I have been told several times 'just let it heal' Let WHAT heal. I cannot believe I am the first and only human to ever have had this!! E-mail=***@****. I beg for any help!!!

Hi there,

It's been a long while, but I've just registered to tell that I also Googled 'lava lamp eyes' just like alecrei and came here :-D I'm also seeing these lava blobs floating in my vision, but they are not like floaters I have for many years. The movement of the blobs are fluid and it could be shrinking of the gel-like fluid in your eye. I'm also occasionally experiencing eye flashes and I found some information about this at https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/14209-floaters--flashers (scroll all the way down).

Best wishes to you!

Weedy you need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist with speciali training in retina and vitreous surgery and do as soon as possible.

Hi There

I have a similar problem. I actually googled 'lava lamp eyes' to see if anyone else is experiencing what I have...your message was the only one I could find. I get it in both my eyes, and it feels like floating blobs of tension. Sometimes the feelings become more intense and hard, and it feels like I don't have control of my eyes...they look very tense and its very hard to concentrate on anything. Other times its not so intense and I can get on with things ok, but it is always there. It is having a very serious affect on my ability to interact confidently with people. When the tension is there, and its gets harder, I look very intense, and feel people react negatively to me. For me it started with anxiety problems I was having. Then I did a lot of vipassana meditation, where you concentrate on physical sensations in your body...thats when it really started.

I feel like the only way out is to try and not focus on it...but its very hard. I've had this for 4 years now.

If anyone can advise, I would very much appreciate it.

Best

I hope you’ve found some relief since your post date. I’ve encountered this similar lava lamp feeling with varying waves of tension and blurred vision. It
started with a severe migraine and continued either due to complications from Lyme Disease or Fibromyalgia. I’ve had it for two years. I find some relief from acupuncture and an herbal supplement called Iplex produced by Standard Process. Seems to help with dry eye and the viscosity required. Best of luck.
