Sudden Green Spots

[Diggitty]

Over the past 6 months or so I get random green spots in my vision when I blink.  They last maybe a day or two and then turn into permanent blink spots.  I have a few little ones in each eye, 1 large one in my left eye and one large one in my right eye, and a long permanent black line that distorts images.  I have had floaters for about seven years so I know the difference between stationary spots and floaters.  I have a great opthamologist who I see every year for my optic nerve drusen.  After one of these episodes where I see green spots I had a dialated eye exam and he said everything looked the same.  Nothing out of the ordinary but the optic nerve drusen.  I have also been to a retinal specialist who did a OCT and a detailed eye exam and also said everything looked fine.  The spots and line do show up on a amsler grid and are getting to be progressive.  I am 30 years old, high blood pressure, and bradycardia.  I have had 2 MRIs and they have proved to be normal.  Should I ask for a fluorescent angiography just to make sure nothing has been overlooked behind the retina?  Could my high blood pressure and bradycardia be affecting the veins in my eyes?  I have also had optical migraines since my early 20s and put on blood pressure medication to controll them and have since been off blood pressure medication for about 6 years now.

I just seen light spots of green all over my carpet that are not there, what is happening?

What would be the benefits of seeing a neuro-opthamologist?  Also, would my bradycardia or high blood pressure have anything to do with my amsler grid defects?

It is remotely possible that the f/a shows something when the OCT is normal.  Your amsler defects could be due to the optic nerve drusen.  You should also consider being seeing by a neuro-ophthalmologist.
