blinking spot in right eye

by CEATY, May 07, 2008 04:27PM

I get a blinking spot in the left side of my right eye. It is oval shaped. I don't know if its white with flashing dark parts or if its dark with flashing white. It takes up very little of my vision. It almost always occurs when i get up in the morning. But within the last two weeks I have noticed it at different times throughout the day. It doesn't last long. And i don't have any unusual pain.

That is a potential serious problem and you need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist as soon as possible. Find an Eye MD at www.aao.org or ask your family MD to refer you and get you in ASAP.
