I'm having this odd issue with my eyes: anyone know what it might be?

Glad to hear that all is well with your eyes. I have had those occular migraines before without the headache. Not fun!

reeeaally? white coat syndrome huh? I find that very peculiar... I'm going to have to call EC into this and ask her to prep her medical bag full of rusty needles, neon sutures, and leeches.
what about taking an aspirin a day to thin your blood? That's what I do for my heart... well, and then some but aspirin is a blood thinner. And you get the coated ones for your tummy.

Hey, Maple! I tried to PM EC a few times in the past month and her PM box is full, so if you run across her on the Forum, tell her to clear the danged thing out & send me a shout-out!
Yes, the opthamologist mentioned maybe a baby aspirin a day or something. I've got my yearly physical in March with my GP (oh, goody...another opportunity for the White Coat Syndrome to kick in) and I'll ask her about it then.

Maybe Wynette could develop a cyst? THAT would get EC's attention!

A cataract starts out small and at first has little effect on your vision. You may notice that your vision is blurred a little, like looking through a cloudy piece of glass or viewing an impressionist painting.
A cataract may make light from the sun or a lamp seem too bright or glaring. Or you may notice when you drive at night that the oncoming headlights cause more glare than before. Colors may not appear as bright as they once did.
The type of cataract you have will affect exactly which symptoms you experience and how soon they will occur. When a nuclear cataract first develops, it can bring about a temporary improvement in your near vision, called "second sight." Unfortunately, the improved vision is short-lived and will disappear as the cataract worsens. On the other hand, a subcapsular cataract may not produce any symptoms until it's well-developed.This happens to me every once in awhile and it looks like I am looking thro' a broken window pane.

Hi Wynette! Glad to know it's harmless. Weird, I have the same exact thing. It started with my first pregnancy, and I freaked! I had maybe 10 episodes of that ocular thing since then. I never knew what it was, the Dr. at the time said it had something to do with the pituatary gland or something. Personally, I think he didn't know what it was. I'll take the ocular migraine over a real painful migraine anyday. Glad you had it checked out.

Hi, Luna! Yeppers, I'm glad I had it checked out, too. You just can't be too careful with your eyeballs!
Oh, I called the opthamologist's office this a.m. to ask if they could e-mail me a copy of one of the pics showing all the blood vessels "lit up" in my eye with the dye they injected into my vein.....I recall she said they were digital pics, so I would think they could easily e-mail me one. If they do, I'll post it!
