Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 After images are associated with AF, and I'm getting both those and transient " black spots " as I'm doing my IC wean - I'd imagine related either to the after-image effect, or the blind spot (that the brain doesn't " fill in " quickly enough) or both. I'm not sure about floaters though. What kind of eye problems? Are the floaters bright spots that all go in the same direction (this is a specific eye problem I read about).

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I didn't know about the after images. I have those constantly too. Floaters are dark spots that are always in the eyes and move with your eyes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater You notice them most when looking at something bright like a computer screen, sheet of paper, or out in the sun. I remember 20 years ago talking to my eye doctor about how many I had and what a concern it was. He blew me off and they kept increasing.

Since I've been on HC and Armour they have disappeared. My blood pressure has also improved but is still on the low side. I did not go to an eye doctor to find out why I had the floaters. I asked my family practice doctor one day about them and she said that it didn't really mean anything. Of course we're all on this website because Doctors really know very little. You may be right about them being caused by low blood pressure. Home this helps...Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
