Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I don't know if it's thyroid related or not, but I feel the need to blink to clear my left eye often, especially when watching television. It does work to clear it, but not for long..

Hi there, I know exactly what you mean on this one ! Although no one else seems to. lol The ophthalmologist I mentioned it to looked at me as if I was from outer space ! He just said there was absolutely nothing wrong with my eyes. So I've never mentioned it to any other doctor, and therefore have no idea what causes it. I did wonder if it was something to do with my high blood pressure. Do you have high blood pressure ? There doesn't seem to be any one thing that brings it on. The first time it happened I'd stayed up all night and thought it was because of that. But since it has come on for seemingly no reason at all. Sometimes I wake up with it. Other times I can just be sitting doing nothing much. I don't know. But if you manage to find out what it is, let me know, I'd be very interested. All the best, Lili _________________________________________________________________ Gagnez des pc Windows Vista avec Live.com http://www.image-addict.fr/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I don't have any thyroid eye problems (my exothalmous resolved early on after my thyroid problem resolution) but neurologists have a variety of state of the art tests for the eyes that opthalmologists do not have. I mean I don't know your situation but if an opthalmologist is already seeing you and finding nothing wrong yet you ARE having unexplainable eye symptoms you would be wise to also have a check up by a neurologist. Just my thought. Or call your eye doctor back if you have not mentioned these symptoms as yet.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Rob4, Do they tell you they are floaters. I was told that mine were nothing but floaters which are worse in an all white wall room ie. their exam room or docs offices but most of the time I forget I have them. So much a part of my eyes these days. I am told these days that as long as there is no major change from my normal symptoms not to worry but if any change concerns me to call up and they would get me in to check me if warranted. Which they did once for me. I was to be there in one hour if possible. I was not prepared for that to be told to be over the phone. I guess I had s/s of a potential retinal tear which was still in early stages and taken care of without a problem. Was not any thyroid related problem.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I had high blood pressure when I was pregnant and the doctor kept asking me if my sight was ok. He asked if there were any "floaties" in my vision. When I told him yes, I saw things floating like they were on my contacts, he immediately put me in the hospital and we induced delivery (I was close anyway so it was OK). The fact that I was seeing floaties had him very concerned about my health and blood pressure. I have never seen the "floaties" again, so I think they are specific to high blood pressure. Although, earlier today I had lines in my vision and was just going to ask if this was a thyroid related thing.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I've had floaters in my eyes for many many years - but it's not the same problem as looking through a broken mirror, as was first mentioned. And it was going to the doctor about it that brought about the beginning of the end, as far as my thyroid was concerned. The 'wonderful' doctor I saw called me hysterical (although I hardly said a word) and gave me iodine to drink - no explaination, nothing. I was 35, and from there on it was all down-hill. In retrospect, I can only assume that he associated my probem with an underproductive thyroid, and was one of those doctors that believe a little drop of iodine and you're as good as new ! I don't know of any other reason to give people iodine. But he didn't do a blood test, or ask about other symptoms or anything. Also in retrospect, I've had an under productive thyroid all my life, judging by the symptoms, but was just passed off as lazy, stupid, hypocondriac and in need of a psychiatrist. But after drinking the iodine, my symptoms just got worse and worse... OK, not going to go into all the details, but it took me nearly 30 years after that to get a diagnosis of Hashi's. Had I not drunk that blessed iodine, I wonder how my life would have turned out... Totally different, I'll bet ! And that, dear friends, is why I am now a) very anti iodine, and very very anti doctor !!! lol All the best, Lili >Rob4, >Do they tell you they are floaters.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Actually one time I had the reverse problem. I went to a neurologist as a last straw attempt to see if maybe I had a death defying neurological disorder and heck he found in the process that I had an eye disorder of which I had no symptoms and still do not know what it was. He sent me back to my eye doctor. So that is why I suggested the neurologists tests.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi, It's possible that what you have are what most eye doctors refer to as floaters. These can be debris, blood and other things. Mine were so large I had to have laser surgery to break them into smaller pieces. They become more prominent the older you get or in my case I have poor circulation and my eye developed an incomplete blood vessel. I would advise seeing an eye doctor. I don't know how related it is to my thyroid, mine was possibly due to diabetes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yes a neighbor of mine when I was young said she had what used to be termed " toxemia of pregnancy " and she said she went temporarily blind until some point and the baby was born shoking on tons of mucous. I have normal blood pressure (no meds needed) so my floaters which came not until I was older is/are not related to blood pressure. But you brought up a good point that got me to recall my neighbor from younger days. I think they call that toxemia eclamsia today.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Lee, Mine are like yours. I only "see" them when I'm looking at something light colored (such as a white wall). My Mom has them too and she says, like you, that they are "floaters".

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Oh I can see them ie. now that you have been talking about the and when I put my mind on them but LOL I guess we with floaters have to force ourselves (train our brain) to be like the little kids who just do not see the need to wash their gooped up glasses so mom does it for them. We with floaters cannot wash them away so we have to tell our brain to just forget about those darn dirty cob web like things (mine are more like cob webs) and just concentrate more on our content so we see past or areound them (which ever it is if not both scenarios).

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Lori, Please take the advice of my earlier post. I mean do not try to diagnose yourself. I learned not to do that from caring for an elderly family member and going to eye doctors offices that there are so so many disorders that even the patients cannot see and which resemble one another that should be caught early and you have more symptoms that you are talking about than just the so called spots.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 This is from my Graves group, thought it might help you. I know it helped me. Sami Keeping your thyroid levels optimal, neither too high nor low, will help reduce eye symptoms. And 1000 mg flaxseed oil daily will help reduce eye dryness and grittiness, which should help relieve soreness. Diet is also important, especially avoiding iodine, sugar and saturated fats.
