Hello,
About 11 days ago I started noticing that I was "seeing stars" in my left eye on bright computer screens. It would come in and out when I would go from dark to light. This shimmering became more apparent and started staying. This was when I called the eye doc. I then noticed that I was developing a small "dot" just to the left of my vision in my left eye. I saw the optometrist and he said that there was nothing apparent with my retina, or inside of my eye. He referred me to a neurologist after sending me to an urgent care (because I do not have a primary care atm due to moving) to make sure I wasn't having a stroke.
Over the past few days I have noticed
- that I have floaters in that eye versus the right eye
- the scotoma has gotten a little bit bigger and shimmers slightly when it starts to go away
- the shimmering is still there
- I notice small streaks of light on the very edge of my vision when I blink fast sometimes
I have a history of migraines, and normally a symptom is for my left eye to hurt... The neurologist yesterday made me do a few stroke tests again, and ordered an MRI for this morning. I am awaiting a results, but am getting nervous. Has anyone had anything like this, or anyone know what is up?
