hi. It's been 3-4weeks i was in the er with difficulty walking and pain in one eye.since then i'm seeing a black spot like a floater. It get darker when the pain is worst and lighter when it's better. Sometime i don't see it. I usually never have headache. I now i pain somtime at the temple and around snd behind the eye. All on the same side. I had an eye exam and everything is ok. I don't have floater. Can fnd make me see a floater (illusion)?or can it be an opthalmic migraine. Sometime my vision is not clear either and pain when i move my eye. I'm suppose to see the neuro at the end of the month.i already had a brain mri one month before the eye problem and it was clear.

thanks

If you're seeing a floater, you need to see an ophthalmologist ASAP. FND should have nothing to do with floaters; those are inside your eye.

Have you had a retinal scan to rule out optic neuritis as part of your exam?

By all means see an ophthalmologist but floaters are not a big deal, speaking from my own experience but also that of countless other people.

It's not a floater. It just look like it for me. Normally they can see floater in the exam and she didn't. Told me the problem can be behind the eye and out of her knowledge. The problem is the mix with the pain and the blurry vision.

So it's not a floater but you're still seeing a black spot. Again, you should see an Opthalmologist for that and tell them. If you have, did they check for retinal tears?

Yes. She say that the problem can be behind the eye. The eye is perfect. Suppose to see the neuro next week.

This was one of my first FND symptoms. I still get eye pains and black spots. I was diagnosed with an Eyet Convergence Insufficiency. It's when your eyeswork independently of each other instead of together. It causes pain in my one eye that doesn't randomly rotate out to the side. It causes dizziness and see double often as well. Occasionally the dizziness is brief and sometimes people tell me my eye just randomly rotated outwards. I have no control over it and it happens if im looking up close or tracking an object. I've probably had it forever but it honestly took ages to be diagnosed despite seeing an eye specialist on the regular.
