Hi guys,
I've been having this for maybe a week or two, and I was wondering if anyone else has. I don't want to run off to the optician for this, so if others have had it I'll just pass it off as normal.
It's a little hard to describe but basically it happens when I wake up in the morning and I first expose my eyes to bright light. So, I could wake up and spend a couple of hours in my room with the blinds drawn and it wouldn't happen, but when I go to the bathroom or outside it starts. I basically get a flickering light that looks a little like throbbing in my peripheral vision, towards the centre (but it shifts around). It looks like a circle that throbs, and it's sort of transparent- like when you've been running and you can see your heart pounding in your eyes for a bit. Sort of like that, but with light.
It lasts for a minute or something and moves around if I blink and then goes away and I don't notice it until the next day. Today, however, I had it in both eyes, after previously just having it in my left.
Does anyone else get this? I imagine it's just my eyes adjusting to the light and, like I said, I don't want to go back to my optician if it's something normal. The only reason I ask is because I've never had it before.
Thanks everyone :)
