Yeah prolly just me being paranoid lols
I have had a grey spot in my eye for some time, have already been to the eye hospital about it, and it's the membrane behind the eye, can't remember what they called it, but it hasn't changed is still the same size it was when I first got it a few weeks back.
But since then my left eye seems to me to have been a little strange, as I stated above.. with the flashing and intolerance to bright lights in my left eye, everything seems too glary if that is the word for it. Makes me a little dizzy.
I just wish my neurologist would hurry up and call me for the appointment she said she would book, cause all this waiting is getting me paranoid of every little thing, is sooo frustrating, I just want answers.. sigh
thanks immisceo *hugs*
Optic Neuritis doesn't always cause pain, but neither is it so transient. Generally, people will experience a scotoma— a blank patch in their vision and/or a loss of the red spectrum that manifests and increases over a period of days. Examples look more like this http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/opticneuritis.html or this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/CentralScotoma.jpg
Over a few days, I lost the red spectrum in my left eye, followed by an increasing scotoma until I was totally blind in that eye. Visions returned more gradually (it's not typical to lose 100% vision in one eye). I described it as being like my vision had mange. The pain (for me) was more like a bruised feeling upon movement of the eye.
I'm not ophthalmologist, but what you're describing sounds unlike optic neuritis.
