Difficulty with right eye vision

Postby Jugger » Wed 01 Aug 2018 8:22 pm

Hello

Over the past week or so, I've developed an issue with my right eye whereby I'm struggling to get clear vision out of this eye.

It's like I get this hazy sensation (like trying to see out of the mist in the mornings in winter) such that I can't make out letters / images clearly with my right eye.

I'm also getting a fluttering feeling inside this eye - if one were to put their eye lash on their hand and blink repeatedly, it feels like this. I can't see any external object in my eye, but it also feels like there is something that's periodically in my eye that's causing my right eye to blink more often than usually. Like a soft small ball of sorts.

I thought it would go away after a few days, but it hasn't and I'm not sure what to do.

Does anyone have an ideas of what the problem may be and how I can alleviate the symptoms?

Hi Jugger,

It could be a mild case of hydrops:

Another possibility would be a corneal ulcer. But it needs a professional to check this out for you, so I'd be going to A&E rather than leaving it. Have you left your lens out of that eye?

Thanks Lia and Anne

I tried leaving out the lens for a day. But need to see again today, so had to put it in.
