Hello,
I'm back with my health anxiety dragon after staying clear of it for about 3 years, and it's my vision again.
I've noticed what appears like a curved hair in the vision of my right eye, it appears similarly to a floater but either doesn't move as much or at all and more like a shimmer. I've had shimmery/flashy lines appear in my vision before that have caught my eye when watching TV and tend to disappear/or I learn to ignore them over time, but this one seems slightly different:
It's been here for at least 4 days
It appears sort of centrally near the bottom of my vision when I blink rapidly
I can trigger it also by moving the frame of my glasses past the bottom of my vision back and forth against a light background or bright screen
And I'm terrified that it's a retinal tear or a retinal detachment on the way
The only thing consoling me at the moment is that it hasn't got worse in the 4 days but it doesn't look like it's going anywhere. Can anyone help? My anxiety about going to get it checked out is through the roof.
Thank you in advance.
