I have a medical question.
As a preface, I’m a henna artist, so I spend hours at a time concentrating on something small and moderately close-up. I also run an online business, so I’m in front of a standard computer monitor several hours a day. I read paperbacks daily, and I also embroider, but not daily. A couple years ago, I had a corneal transplant due to shingles scarring my previous cornea. It went fine. I am still extremely nearsighted without correction.
July 4th weekend, I was applying henna to someone when all the sudden there was a splodge of what you see when you close your eyes overlaying my vision. I could work through it, but I stopped hennaing for a while. It wore off after an hour or so.
Then last week, I noticed another splodge, much smaller this time, and it’s stayed there. So far as I can tell, it’s NOT in the eye with the transplant. Looking at this entry form on a 800x600 resolution standard monitor, the splodge is in the upper left-hand corner of the text entry box. It looks like the changing-black color stuff you see when you close your eyes. If I look at a well-lit light-colored surface, it looks kinds grey and I can see stuff going through it, like blood cells or something. When I close my eyes, it’s like a bright
What has happened here? I don’t remember looking at anything so brilliant it caused me to feel uncomfortable, so I don’t think I’ve burned out a receptor or something. Could this be a sign of something else more serious? It’s a very small nuisance right now, but if it’s a sign of something else, I don’t want the something else to go further. I am overweight but otherwise in good health.
