Mr. Not Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The best way to explain this problem is that I see colored specs everywhere. It's as if somebody sprinkled a bunch of sand grains into my cornea. This has really started to bug me recently and I think I should get my eyes checked - and hopefully fixed. It's been this way with my eyes for as long as I can remember, is it natural for everyone or is there something wrong with my eyes? I don't have troubles reading, but it really becomes a bitch to see anything in the dark, especially stars... In other words, I don't need magnification, but something that will give a me a clearer view of everything period. Someone fill me in, here. Thanks.

Mr. Not Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Doing some research myself too. Pink eye? My eyes aren't so swelled, I don't think. (seeing colored spots) http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic48519.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullSkull Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 That brown Acid is bad stuff.... No really now... Do some research here too Mayo Clinic and you need to get to a doctor about it if you can't find anything online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floaters and spots indicate serious eye trouble! Not being able to see in the dark also indicates a serious problem! Go to an eye doctor!!!

It could be an indication of something more serious, but while most eye infections and the like can be easily treated nowadays, get to a doctor as soon as you can. It's just better to err on the side of caution. Hope things work out for ya. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're 18 now? I assume you've told family members about this -- and no one has suggested a doctor's visit? No one here can tell you how serious this is. Maybe it's serious, maybe it's something some drops can fix. Maybe it's something that isn't a big deal now but will get serious if you don't treat it. No matter what, you NEED to get an exam done. Tomorrow. Get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Man Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If I had started this thread my post would have been something more along the lines of: I just got back from seeing an eye Dr because I was seeing colored specs everywhere. It's as if somebody had sprinkled a bunch of sand grains into my cornea. Just Sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I have floaters every so often, but they're one or two at a time and look like amoebas. I do see bright spots like stars when my blood sugar is low, but only at those times - they're not constant. Good luck finding what's wrong and I hope it's nothing major. Hopefully it's just eye strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Necromancer_77 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 My dad's had this floater thing in his eye for years. I guess it isn't bad, but it sounds annoying as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nettiesaur Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Floaters can be a number of things, but sometimes signal that 1) you have a bleed in a blood vessel (common to diabetics) 2) your retina is detatching 3) there is something else going on with your eyes or you have a health problem. Notice that I said CAN be a problem, but only an eye doctor can tell, which is why you need an exam. like 1001001 said TOMORROW!

GeddyRulz Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Sounded like potential cataracts to me, until you said the problem's been with you for years - no better, no worse. I agree on an immediate eye exam. I'm essentially blind in one eye from glaucoma - an old person's disease I was diagnosed with at thirty - and it's because I didn't get regular exams and prescription updates until it was severe.

I'll be getting them checked August 4th. Thanks for your help, everyone. Hopefully to know I feel like opening up to this board before professionals makes you all feel a bit special Hopefully I'll be able to see the stars clearly again soon!
