Re: Eyes, vitamins, herbs, and books

Hi, I was just reading your post about floaters from about year ago and wanted your opinion on a post I just made about a problem I'm having. Here it is...



For almost 10 years I have had this occasional spot in my right eye just to the left of center, and the only way I can explain it is it looks like a burnt spot. I usually can't see it unless I'm outside and blink my eyes. It goes away usually in a day and may return two times each year.

The doctor says he doesn't see anything wrong with my eye.

Well, Friday I had this spot that looked, when blinking my eyes at the sky, like a comet. It is smoky in color, not black and not a light. And, it doesn't move. It seemed to be orginiating from the same spot as the spot I mentioned above. It lasted two hours and stopped.

It came back today and I went to see the eye doctor. Before he looked in my eye, he told me that he thought that it was something leaking in the vitreous humor, which he said comes with age. I'm 39 with Type 1 diabetes.

I have regular checkups and there is no diabetes in my eyes yet. I have also had a history of seeing a ring of light when waking in the morning and looking to the side suddenly. The retina doctor told me that this was something that comes with age as the vitreous humor thickens.

It has been over 12 hours and the "comet" is still there. Does anyone have any ideas? It is blocking my vision like a flash from a camera affects your vision for a few minutes.

Thanks for any suggestions.
