Oh no Tracey, not more unpleasant news for you to worry about.

God Bless you.

Take care, Tracye !

Can't they do anything about it? Did this happen because if the cataract surgery? You have really been through the wars xxx

Don't despair! I have also had this vitreous body detachment (the vitreous body is the jelly like substance), and bled behind both my eyes, first one and then a few months later the other. I a.so had the weird flashes and all that. The bleeding can look like flocks of blackbirds taking off, it did for me. And the bleeding seems to run upwards, like fine black lines or dots (your vision inside your eye turns everything upside down). Though it is right to warn you, as it can lead to a tear in the retina, it never did for me. It often, or perhaps even mostly, doesn't. It is an age related thing, and you are more likely to get those symptoms or tears of you are short sighted, like I am. But the bottom line is that though it is scary there are very, very good chances it will be fine! And once it is over it won't happen again as far as I understand.

Hi Tracey1972 I pray that your the jelly part of your eye stops pulling away and re attaches itself to where it should be and goes back to being normal. In the name of Jesus Amen

Hi there,

Snap.........I had the same thing , it started last month on a Sunday afternoon

Wen't into my optician the next morning.......He put through many many procedures and gave me various instructions .

I had to take it easy for a few weeks and if I get a sudden massive amount of flashes then to either return to him for referral or go straight to the hospital eye unit. Where ever I am.

As it is the few flashes mean eye sac is pulling away from the retina......but no damage. Lots of flashes very fast mean there could be a slight tear.

Anyway after just over a month mine has settled nicely. But I try not to lift heavy things any more........mine started after heavy lifting with hubby.

It full name for this conditions is Posteria Vitreous Detachment.

Hello again. I was a bit worried about the dull ache in my left eye,

I was told you should not feel anything , but you do. The floaters never go away,. They are the small black bits that you see ...... I have got used to them now thank goodness..

Jo.

Oh dear Tracey. Hate to say this but please keep "your eye on this" lol. Go back if anything changes as eye sight is important.

Yes I am fine thanks. My peak flow is going down slightly - about 10 points and I have started to feel sob at night so don't know if I am coming down with something. Could just be the chilly nights and we have had fog a couple of nights which always affects me.

Oh dear. I was only celebrating the other day as it is nearly a year since I had an infection! Maybe I should take my salbutamol a couple of times a day until I feel a bit better.
