CAMERA FLASH SPOT IN LEFT EYE

Hi Guys
I can say that I am fully recovered for a full 2 weeks now. No symptoms of anxiety, dp/dr or depression. So yep it is possible.

Now I want to know this, I have always had vision problems when anxiety hit but this has all gone away & now it seems that I have this bright camera flash spot in my left eye only. You know like the after flash you get from looking at the camera? well I have had this for 2 days now & well I'm getting a bit worried, a little anxious.

I'm going to optometrist tomorrow & as usual I am telling myself it is just anxiety but at the same time I am like what if it isn't should I prepare myself for an eye operation?

Could you guys prepare me for what to expect?

Hi Charger,

having seen an opthomologist for the same type problem, i can say they may dialate your eyes, prop your head against this instruement and give your eyes an intense examination. then they may have you stick your head against this box that has an open dot that you look thru and press a button everytime you see a dot. then you will probably end up back in the doctor's chair where he will tell you he didn't see anything and you can walk away confused, but satisfied, that you are not having any major health issues. :)

i truely do hope all goes well tomorrow. try not to fret.

Hi Phill,

You are really right about having your eyes checked. Lightness aside because a lot of us do seem to have visual disturbances, seeing "things" can be a precursor to several serious medical problems.

Good heads up.

Charger, so glad your examine came out well. :)
