I don't think that this has anything to do with my retina problems. During the last two weeks, I used the sink to rinse my hair, meaning that I was bent over for 4-5 minutes. After, I have seen a bright, blood-colored spot after I had bent my head at the sink to rinse my hair. This is in my good eye, and the spot is irregularly circular, about 2" in diameter. It dissapears after a minute or two.
On the other occasions that I have seen spots, I had not been holding my head down. About 9 months ago, I saw a red spot once, again in the good eye.. On several occasions during perhaps a single week, about 9 months ago, I saw purple blotches most of the time, but only when when I opened my eyes. I can't remember if the purple blotches were in both eyes, or only the good one.
I told one of the retinologists about the red spot 8 months ago, and I said it probably was due to the fact that my contact had gotten stuck. He asked me if I really thought that. I said yes.
I just realized that, since all this happened during the last 9 months, could it possibly have to do with all the lasering (3-4 times) in the right eye? I can ask the retinologist's office that tomorrow. I wear a contact in the right eye. My eye tens to get irritated when I rinse my hair at the sink, since soap may get into my eyes. Could it be acontact
lens thing, like a broken capillary from irritation?
Can the eyes do something like this from irritation?
