Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I have experienced black floaties here and there, when I went to the eye doctor they said it can be caused by stress or that it can be a retna tear. He did some testing and determined that it was a small hole in my retna and we had to keep an eye on it. Since then I have had laser vision correction and have not experienced the flashing lights. I still get the black floaties when I am under stress. You may want to go see an eye doctor to make sure its nothing serious........ amtl1110 <amtl1110@...> wrote: Has anyone else experienced episodes of vision problems?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I don't know anything about this at all, but If it were me, I'd think the eye problem had nothing to do with my back and I'd call my eye doc immediatley. Good luck. Bonnie [ ] Vision Problems Has anyone else experienced episodes of vision problems?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 , Thanks so much for your reply. My guess is that it is stress. I had an episode a few months ago accompanied with facial numbness (before my back flared up) and I had a cat scan of my head and an eye exam. Nothing terrible found. They attributed it to a sinus infection. I was curious if it could be related to stenosis and nerve issues. You never know.... I'll mention it to the doctor when I have my myleogram on Thursday. Thanks again. Ann Marie > Has anyone else experienced episodes of vision problems?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Anne Marie, I also had the numbness on the left side of my face. They thought it was a sinus infection too. But many months later we determined it is all a part of the neuropathy cycle I have had since 2 months post op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Thanks to all for the replies, I appreciate it. I'm having the CT myleogram tomorrow, so I'll post afterwards. I'm hoping it will be smooth sailing... > > Anne Marie, > I also had the numbness on the left side of my face. > They thought it was a sinus infection too.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Is anyone else having serious bouts with loss of vision? At first I was just super-sensitive to light, then motion-tracking, now at times barely squinting; also have to shut my eyes to talk sometimes or cover my ears to see; cannot handle more than one " sense " at a time...weird, i know.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yup! I can't handle a lot of commotion, or noises I get overstimulated REAllY easy, my all of my senses are like that, my vision is really weird, one day it will be really blurry, the next I will see spots, the next I will see white sparklies, and the next it is perfectly fine! Lymes causes all of it, and it sucks! Good luck Bridget > > Is anyone else having serious bouts with loss of vision?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 > > Hi Bee, I have been on the diet since March of 2009. I have slipped up a bit and craved cake. I stayed on the diet but add bakery. I am on track again. My question is that I have alway had near sighted vision since first grade, and it progressivily gets worse every year. I have had break through bleeding which damaged my vision in the left eye. I have floaters and the start of cateracts starting. They are having a hard time fitting me with glasses. I see better with contacts, but it is getting hard on my eyes. The eye doctor is considering cateract surgury and the replacement of the lens in my eyes. > Since I have been on the diet, > the retina doctor said I had a small improvement in the health of my eyes but my vision is worse. First time in my life time anyone ever said I have any improvement. > What can I do to improve my vision. Increase some supplements? What is your opinion on the surgury? +++Hi Donna, Your vision can improve on this program since all of the nutrients work together which helps your eyes too. Since you've had eye problems for some time your eyes may be worse before they get better, and while you are healing your body will " retrace " all past eye problems and ups and downs. Ensure you are taking the correct amount of cod liver oil (omega 3, and vitamins A & D) and vitamin E, which are important for eye health. You could also eat good red meat liver at least once a week which helps your eyes too. I don't agree with surgery but that is something I wouldn't be able to advise you on. I'm not a doctor and I don't know how badly your eyes have deteriorated, whether it was caused by your parents poor nutritional status, etc. and natural healing takes a lot of time and persistence on the program.
