Green Sparkles In my Eyes

VCI
I don't know how to explain this but here i go.

I know what an afterimage is but this had been reacurring to me. Sometimes after or during when i see a source of light or a space where light is bounced off from during the after image i also see  an explosion of green sparkles that last for a second. I don't see it all the time but it has been happening every day since summer . I went to the eye doctor and she said my eyes were normal and healthy but i told them what i was seeing but they couldn't tell me what it was. My family thinks i'm paranoid.

I want to know what it is and if it is serious

Today while i was staring at my cat the light from her fur, i was seeing the explosion of green sparkles while my eyes open.

So you have no idea what this is.

I asked another guy on here and he said he had patients who had symptoms like this i belive and said itr was nothing but i just wanted a second opinion.

Okay so you have one normal exam by an Eye MD. If you want to step up the evaluation you can ask the ophthalmologist you saw to refer you to a neuroophthalmologist, they are the 'Sherlock Holmes" of ophthalmology.

You should go to www.aao.org and find a neuroophthalmologist near you and get in for an exam. If they find nothing they will probably say don't worry unless something changes.

There are all kinds of "eye doctors" if you did not have your first eye exam with an Eye MD ophthalmologist and it was with a non-MD non-physician optometrist you have not had a full medical eye examination.
