Here's a little backstory- I got my first migraine when I was twelve {13 now} I think. I got the aura thing and of course I thought I was going blind. :blush:
I don't know if these are really connected in any way, but right around that time I started noticing that I have floaters in my eye.. not very normal for an twelve year old right?! I googled it... of course. :winks:
And I was convinced that I had (or was having) a detached retina. {Start worst month of my life right here}
That night, my sister's friend was over and there was a HUGE snowfall. {It was february I think.} I went outside, and, still in the mindset of thinking about my eyes, I noticed the blue field entoptic phenomenon... problem is, I've noticed it EVERY DAY since then. NO JOKE. every time I'm outside, all I see is little flashing dots. Sometimes I also see little circles.. that almost look like they're falling or something... it's hard to explain.
Also, I always notice afterimages and trails... but only when it's dark out?
Since february, I've been thinking that I have a number of conditions relating to my eye... from glaucoma to visual snow all the way to just going blind.
What's been concerning me lately is that I feel like I'll never ever stop noticing the blue field entoptic phenomenon... and that, since most people just notice the little dots, but for me it's also little groups of transparent circle things... and sometimes I feel like i see something clear going across my vision.. but only when I am outside, looking at the sky, causing me to blame the blue field entoptic phenomenon. I'm wondering if what I've described up there is serious?! Especially when you add in the fact that I'm only 13?!
This worries me every day...
