I have a torn retina so when I close my eyes unless I'm in a perfectly dark room I get a flashing strobelight effect in my right eye that makes me nauseous and gives me seizures if I sleep in a bright room

Hardawn posted:I always felt like I could see micro organisms floating stound Thos are called floaters and it's little bits of the internal eyeball jelly that your retina floats in

As you get older the jelly in your eyeball dries up and becomes thicker and more congealed and it can lead to more floaters or to tearing your retina like I did

It's just a thing that can happen when you get into your mid-late 30s because the ocular jelly it rests in thickens/congeals/dries up  I have had a refractive amblyopia in that eye for my entire life so I put a lot of strain on it whenever I try to actually use that eye and that's probably part of why it got torn.Mumpy Puffinz posted:and you're just living with it. God bless the American health care system It doesn't really affect anything other than now I have blackout curtains up, and the only treatments are weird things that sound terrible like a freezing treatment for your ocular jelly? NO thanks. But also I don't have insurance lol
