pain by my eyes...no bad head acks either..

l said to myself..OK Rita do not panic..this will go away...

Glad to hear you went to the doctor. This sounds very scary. I know how you

feel because every day here is something else with me too. I just try to stay

calm. Then I always think things could always be worse. I blame most of my

problems on my diet or else a drug that I am taking......

Take care. Kat

Kathy - I've had something like what you describe. At work, at puter,

under flourescent light. A lightning flash in my right eye, followed by

flashing stars on a mostly black background for several hours. That was

just the beginning of eye problems for me, because the diabetes had not

yet been diagnosed and was not dx'd for another two years, even tho I

saw 12 different doctors in that time. I finally had to stop working

altogether because the combination of those TV-screen type computer

screens and flourescent lights is deadly to my eyes. I have an LCD

screen at home now, and no flourescent lights in my house, anywhere,

ever. Even tho getting the bgs under control has helped a lot, I have

amber colored wrap-around sunglasses (Sav-On Drug Store) that I have to

wear in some flourescent light situations now, and my computer glasses

are amber tinted to cut out the blue part of the spectrum, since that's

the part that gets me. Your situation, of course, may be entirely

different from mine. I had an opthalmologist do every test there is,

and no visible permanent damage to my eyes. As bgs get lower my

eyesight seems to be sharpening up, and the incidences of sensitivity

are less, except in certain stores that use the cheapest flourescent

tubes they can buy.
