Hi everyone!
Ive had this for ages now, it happens occasionally and it is starting to concern me a lot, so here i am for some help/advice.
You know when your under a fluorescent light that is not working properly? The light flickers very fast and it would make you think the bulb was on the blink? Its almost like a strobe light?
Occasionally i get this in my vision!!! It happened today, i was sitting in a well lit room and was looking at the blinds on the window and they were "flickering" and when i looked from them to the wall it looked like the paint on the wall was doing the same flickering/swirling/pulsating like a wonky light. It was so strong that i actually looked up to the light to see if it was faulty!!!!
I concentrated really hard on how i was feeling, i wasn't anxious at all, i was actually quite relaxed while this was happening. I also noticed that my eyelids felt like they were trembling/pulsating slightly at the same time
It lasted maybe 5-10 minutes, and it happens maybe every 6 weeks or so.
I had an eye test earlier this year at the optition and that check was fine, i didn't say anything about my eyes as i wanted a check up where the optition did not know i had anxiety as every doc appointment i get lately i just get the old "its anxiety" to whatever i go with!!! And that went ok, that was back in March.
Who should i go to about this, my doctor or an optition??? Or is this common and has a name???
