Bright spot in my vision

Hi. I have a similar problem and the affected area is getting bigger. It’s just in one eye but my vision is now much worse in that eye. All tests have been normal so far. Did you get any further with a diagnosis or treatment?

Hi María, I'm from Spain too and I have the same. I've been fighting with this for over a decade without any results, every is "fine" with me according to the doctors. Now I'm seeing big bright archs on my right eye, I think I'm going blind.
Please, can you tell me a way to contact you, maybe if we join forces we can help the doctors to find what is wrong with our health. Thanks!

That’s my exact day I had today. I was terrified! But it faded after an hour. Thanks for sharing!

I have glare spots in my vision too. They are small and I don't really notice them unless I am trying to focus on something small (like reading or trying to recognize a face from a distance). In these cases, the glare spots obscure what I am trying to focus on. It is very annoying and makes computer work and reading difficult. I went to the eye doc and he found nothing abnormal about my eyes.

The response Chris Smith, MD posted does not describe what I am experiencing and what I feel that many of the other people who posted here are also experiencing. It is not flashes and it is not gray spots or floaters. It is a bright glare spot as if I looked into a bright flashlight right before I tried to focus on whatever I am looking at.

One cause of seeing a flickering light in an eye is a scar on the retina due to  a disease called histoplasmosis. People get the disease from bird droppings. A relative has that. You can get the disease and not know you were sick. To learn more, do a web search for histoplasmosis eye.

I don't have that (so far as I know), but sometimes see what appears to be an after-image of a bright circle with one or two dark notches out of it. I don't know the cause of my symptom.

 

Sharing in case it helps anyone: I had a bright spot in my vision. It was diagnosed as Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome or MEWDS.

It can come on after a cold but that's now always the case. For me, it manifested as a bright spot in my vision in one eye - most noticeable when I close my eyes. I also am having a lot of trouble looking at my phone in the dark - I see a lot of dark spots over the screen. It's also very noticeable when I transition from light-to-dark or dark-to-light. The good news is it should resolve itself. Apparently there isn't much you can do to help it go away faster.
