Opthalmic Migrane & Histo spots
by ARMork, Nov 06, 2009 02:52PM
Eight yrs ago I was diagnosed with occular histoplasmosis (left eye - affecting my central line of vision). With time, it seemed like my brain adjusted for the distortion; I had to look at an Amsler grid just to remember which eye was affected. Last week, I started to notice a flashing light in my right eye. An eye exam found no detached retina, and all histo spots remain unchanged in every aspect. Dr. gave me a diagnosis of ophtalmic migrane. However, the most severe symptom is now visual distortion from the histo spot - exactly as I remember it being like at age 19, 8 yrs ago. I have to constantly cover my left eye to avoid the double/disorted vision that leads to headaches. It appears that my brain has "forgotten" how to adjust to the spot. I've been under an increased amount of stress lately, but am otherwise healthy. Any suggestions?
