Millions of small dots and cobwebs...

[David_M]

Last month my eyes started getting really sensitive to light, and then bang...
Millions of these tiny translucent dots began to appear, and with them came these cobwebs and severe headaches...
I went to an eye specialist and supposedly there is no retinal detachment, I'm very worried and I want my vision to come back to normal.

Do you have any clue as to what is happening?
I've also been having severe panic attacks and I have enlarged lymph nodes which I've had looked at...
After blood test and X-rays, all normal...

Ahhh, don't worry.
I'm always worked up or will be until this goes away...

The more I think about it..I do not want to get you all worked up. Just please see another doctor soon. I am sure everything will be fine.

Just didn't see right. I have a high prescription..but just wasn't right. Lots of floaters...spots. I thought there were bugs in the house. I went to my regular doctor only because it was getting on my nerves. He sent me to a retinal doctor. They did a laser surgery and sent me on my way. 4 days later while walking through my restaurant everything in my rt eye went dark. I had 7 tears in my retina. They preformed a Buckle
a couple days later. I lost all vision. I was since refered to Miami and a disease specialist. I was losing vision in my good eye and my other doctors had no explanation to why. I was there diagnosed with Serpigionious...Maybe.  No one is sure. I am going to Mass next month to see Dr. Foster. Supposed to be the best!

What kind of symptoms did you have at first?
I mean, what drew your attention to it?

[nikkyfl]

You really do not have time to think. Where do you live? I got new glasses...didn't work. I am scared every single day of my life. I am still reseaching and looking for answers everyday. I visit my doctors sometimes once a week. I have landed in the hospital for high blood pressure due to a side effect of medication for my eyes. I would do it again as long as the med protects me from futher vision loss. Close one eye. Than than put your hand over the other right in the middle. All I can see is from the rt over. Scary....
You can not waste time.

I'm thinking of doing this because obviously something is not right, it came on very suddenly and I'm sick of it...
At first I thought it was my glasses but getting a new pair didn't help.
Also, if I stare at an object everything around it will become blurry and I'll start zoning out and getting anxious.
I'm scared and I really don't feel like losing my eyes.

Please find another doctor. There is something wrong. I too had similar symptoms. I have now,2 years later and one eye less, been diagnosed with Serpiginious Chor. This is a very rare eye disease that works backwords to Macular D. Outside in. Severe scaring. I see what you describe every minute.
You may look it up as "white dot syndrome" this is another name.
Let me know if you have any other questions
