Floaters Lasik

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

I see little blue specks of light in the morning.?

They are all over the place. They look like blue ants. But it only happens when I wake up. I also experience Photopsia (light streaks) and severe floaters in the eye…I also suffer from blurred vision even when I wear contacts. Ive been checked for retinal tears and detachments but everything came back great..im going back to get a second opinion…But in the meantime…does anybody know whats going on? And one more thing, I also have little “blind spots” in the eye that last for 10 seconds.. Im only 19 and Im scared im going blind. Im getting lasik soon.

Two things are going on at your age
A. Floaters: usually a non-harmful condition but rarely can be the start of a retinal detachment. Have it checked by an ophthalmologist.
B. Transient blind spots indicate decreased blood circulation to the back of the brain, the visual center of the brain. In young people this can occur just from standing uo too fast.
It is also seen in the visual aura of migraine.
