 Posted: 06/12/06 - 00:00 Post subject: weird vision problems such as swirling, flashing and floater |
  |

Two days ago I had my first unpleasant experience with vision problems. My vision was changed for about twenty minutes, I could notice flashes and changes in colour of the usual objects (the grass in my yard looked blue and the milk was almost orange!). The next day this episode was much longer and it included floaters - big dark spots. Am I just too tired or do I have to talk to my doctor about this? I have no history of eye diseases. Can weird vision problems such as swirling, flashing and floaters indicate a psychiatric problem?

The problems you mention are usually associated with eye pain, and this is, further, connected to numerous eye disorders. Eye pain can indicate some benign problems, e.g. exposure to strong light or small particles found in the eye. This can irritate your eyes to a very high extent so try to rest your eyes, avoid light, rinse with water and do not rub. Visit a doctor who will “expel” the foreign body from your eye. Less benign problem is inflammation of any kind. Perhaps your vision problems announce blepharitis, inflammation of the iris or even conjunctivitis. Another possible scenario is that you managed to remove the foreign body from your eye(s) and scratched the cornea while doing that. This enables the development of ulcers and abrasions which have the symptoms you described. If the pressure in your eyes is for some reason increased you can develop glaucoma - most glaucoma is painless and this may be the only symptom you’ll have. If you think there might be a reason for mental disturbances to appear consult a psychiatrist. If not, just go to a good ophthalmologist.
