Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi, This past "episode" lasted for less than 5 minutes, but it was friegthning. from time to time I experience floaters and blurred vision. I assume this is due to the nuero, so I don't pay too much attention to it. I also have dry eyes and I use a "tear solution. What I experienced was the feeling that my eye was stuck in one lace and couldn't move it. I also saw double and what ever i tried to do to the eye, it felt as if it didn't move.

He attributes effects to my right optic nerve to sarc; I see him again tomorrow for tests and evaluation to determine if there's been any change since my last visit in early June.The neuro opthalmologist attributes symptoms like these to neuro sarc: blurred vision (includes major episodes in which I am unable to see even large objects like my 42 inch tv clearly), reading problems like reading a line and the eyes jump one to 3 lines above and repeat the process over again. I've even had one episode where I'd look at the curtains at one point and my eyes would roll to the ceiling with no effort on my part and I couldn't control the activity.I've experience floaters for many years but there are many more and of larger sizes since sarc was diagnosed_spring of 2008. Like others I have dry eyes; treatment includes Retasis morning and night and regular drops two times in between. I'm not sure whether dry eyes and floaters are related to sarc. I'll clarify that tomorrow.How long did your episode last and what were the symptoms?Take care.__________________________________________________________> Show them the way!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Pomy, floaters become more common as we age, but if you have a sudden change in size or number, get in for an exam. That happened to me a few years ago. I'd been having little ones (I'd think a fly was on my food, but I never could catch the sucker!), but while camping one weekend I developed a very large floater, to where I could barely read. On Monday I called my eye doc & they had me come in right away to rule out a detached retina. Turned out it wasn't the retina, but I did have a detached vitreous (the glob of jelly your eyeball is made of; sorry, Tracie!). Apparently, another joy of aging is that the vitreous can get more watery & kind of slosh around, causing it to pull away from the back of the eye. You will not find this technical explanation in a medical textbook, however. Anyway, when you have any changes like this, call your opthamologist & insist on being seen immediately. Just my 2 cents worth. Ramblin' RoseModerator Get your vacation photos on your phone! Click here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
