If you have no vision from the side of you eye, you need to see a doctor immediately, to rule out retinal detachment, which left untreated can lead to blindness.
Do you think that cleaning my eye with products like "Optrex" every day would help?
Thanks loads!
I really should see a doctor, huh.
I wouldn't call it a black spot either but what I meant was that there would be an area if the peripheral vision that you can't see a thing. I call that an area of darkness.
glaucoma does not cause a "black spot" that can be seen by the patient.
the vast majority of glaucoma patients have no symptoms at all. they only know they have glaucoma b/c an eye doctor tells them. they do not see a "black spot".
Have you ever been checked for glaucoma?
I am not a doctor either. But when I saw new black spots, I was told to come into the office immediately, to make sure it was just a floater, and not something like a retinal tear, which could lead to a detached retina, which is very, very, serious! Call your doctor. Or the doctor that you do call, tell the office your symptoms over the phone; so that they can fit you in immediately.
please dont look at the sun, for one thing.
but it sounds like a FLOATER...intraoculr debris. usually benign but rarely caused by a retinal problem such as hole, tear, detachment. you need an eye examination to rule our retinal problems...
I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
But when in doubt, make it a priority to check it up with a doctor.
