Please Help have had this for a week

[Magyk74]

In only my right eye I have an issue.
During the day when I blink in the center of the eye I see a perfect symetrical blue circle (almost as if it's the iris). It's almost as if I looked directly into the flash of a camera except this time the flash that stays in your eye for about 30 sec hasn't gone away.
The circle is definetly colored and pretty much vanishes when its dark/night time.
My vision is slightly affected as I did see an opthamologist and ended up having 20/20 vision but it is somewhat difficult to see smaller items now?


Today I am going to my primary physician to get some bloodwork and then to an neurologist
Please give some feedback

SHould it be CSR or retinal vein or artery occlusion many can be helped. Let us know after you see the eye MD what was causing it.

In regards in AAO- the spot is circular (tunnel like + blue/grey) it is present all the time except when it is pitch black out and it does somewhat distort my vision.
I'm really hoping it's stress related considering I just moved though.
Are any of the treatments listed dangerous?

I'm still going to see a doctor within a week considering this has been going on for a week and a day.

Anxiety will not cause it. However in anxiety attacks people often tune in to normal background noise the body makes while its 'running' that is they tune in on their heart beat, movement in their joints or intestines, static in the ear, etc.

Do you think it is possible it is stress related? I never had floaters or aNYTHING at all until  my first anxiety attack. From then on all I thought about was my health. And I have read tons of other posts from people with anxiety saying they  see things, etc. - Just a thought...

Yes central serous retinopathy could cause that although the spot caused by it tends to be present more or less all the time and it blurs the vision. Some cases of CSR require laser treatment. Some cases of CSR are when tested closed choroidal neovascularization and require ANTI-VEGF treatment.

I was looking at eye problems yesterday related to my symptoms
and I think I may have possibly found it. "Central Serous Chorioretinopathy" although there is no real treatment for this. I fall into the category of why this has occured I'm a male age 25-45, just went through a stressfull event (purchasing my first home and I moved).

I'm still going to go to a physician and possibly check out a neuro-opthalmologist.

Any other suggestions?

Must be an epidemic, as there are 4-5 posts like this over the last several months. As of yet no definitive diagnosis and not worsening.

If you find a cause please post.  I would suggest a neuro-ophthalmologist if nothing turns up and it persists. You can find one at www.aao.org

Let me know what you find out. I see a  bright blue circle to, in the corner of the my vision that only lasts about 2 seconds. I went to the eye dr yesterday and he said my eyes were healthy. I see this in the dark too.

By the way, the Opthamologist dilated my eyes, checked the pressure and saw nothing wrong, my check up last year did reveal a slightly larger optic nerve in one eye but he said that it is common (such as someone having one foot slightly bigger than the other)
