I had laser for a retinal hole almost 3 weeks ago and i have a black blind spot 4 black dots but i don t see them all of the time.
Looks like ceiling fan in peripheral vision.
Sometimes it s just a blotch.
Does anyone else see flickering in their peripheral vision.
I had an occurence a few years back when it seemed i was being swarmed by a bunch of black ash.
I ll explain a little more just in case if you have an idea what s going on and need more information.
When i un focus my eyes when looking at lights i can see it as well.
I have noticed that about one or two times per week during the last 4 5 months that early in the mornings i get a mild flickering of my vision.
Sometimes its peripheral sometimes the effect is in a shape like a circle directly in my line of sight.
When my eyes are in this condition it is very difficult to read because i must slow my rate of comprehension while my brain makes out words behind the flashings.
There are times when i see swirling lights like a brightly lit ceiling fan mostly in my peripheral vision.
Starting 4 years ago when i took a very bad buck from a 3yo horse i was training i have experienced what seems like pinwheels ceiling fans kaleidoscope colors in my vision.
I have 20 20 vision and can even see in the pitch black darkness.
Mainly artificial light would seem to shimmer a bit.
Has never lasted more that 30 minutes to and hour and once gone.
Mostly when going to a dark room from light or vice versa.
The thing is that sometimes my vision seems to vibrate a little mostly in my peripheral vision it seems to be happening mainly when coming from a dark area and entering a bright one but this isn t always the case.
I occasionally have this flickering in my peripheral vision that is just like the shadow that a ceiling fan with a light on it throws on the ceiling.
What do you mean by ceiling fan effect.
This seems silly to bring up but otoh who knows maybe others have experienced this.
I also have static look on the periphery of my vision on the entire right half of my left eye toward my nose.
It was wierd then faded.
I m not going insane i think out of the corner of my right eye i can see something that appears to be a spinning color blob my mind registers it as a ceiling fan but when i look at it it moves and there s no reflective surface that could reflect it.
Then when i look in the way of the shimmering it usually stops.
The first time it happened i went to the er but they said i just had a headache i did have one the worst i had ever had they.
