Haemorrhage at the back of my left eye!!!! I'm scared and worried.!!!

[Bentleyboo]

Firstly, can I say a big thank you to the people who like my pictures of my garden and I'll put some more up during the week. I'm really proud of what I've done I to my garden and will continue to do what I can to it.

Secondly, I went for an eye test today at my local Tescos where my daughter works. An half hour test turned out to be an hour and half test. They were brilliant and did tests that I've never had before. On one test I could see reddish, it was like I was looking through something red but it wasn't. After tests to examine the back of my eyes, the optician said that on the back of my right eye there was a lot of scarring which I knew about as I damage that eye years ago but on the back of my left eye there was a haemorrhage and other problems.

He made a request for me to be seem at my local hospital as soon as possible and explained how urgent it was. He said that is why I've been losing my vision at times, the headaches and the blurred vision. I'm just glad that my daughter was with me as its hit me hard and I'm still in shock. I can just imagine me in hospital at the same time as she is, as she's got 5wks left before the baby's due. I asked him if my medication could of caused this problem as I'm on Gabapentin, , Lansoprazole, Mirtazapine, Naproxen, etc but he said no then he saw that I'm b12 definicity and maybe this was the cause but he can't say until they've done some tests.

Sorry for the rant but I'm scared and I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and know what I can expect. Thank you 😯😢

Hi.

A

I can understand how worried you are.

In Jan a sort of lace came down over my left eyeball I couldn't see.If I looked towards a window all I could see was a misty patch and if I looked into the room it was dark and I couldn't make out shapes.Went to my dr the following morning who sent me to a specialised optician later that day.Optician said there was a massive clot in my eye but the equipment wasn't good enough to see any further into the eye.I was then sent to the opthalmology dept at the nearest big hospital spent 3 hours doing tests but too much blood to be able to make an accurate diagnosis.Went back for 3 days on the trot for same tests.As a diabetic I thought it may be to do with that but it wasn't.

Decided it could be a detached retina,or. Torn retina but couldn't decide if it was.Then kept on returning to hospital for further 5 weeks until they decided it was a vitreous haemorrhage.

No other treatment given and was told it would clear itself up on its own.They didn't want to operate if they could hel it.Told if it get worse to get back in touch.

It is now August and still some disturbance in vision but it is a lot better,If I get tired Iso eti es see black specs in front of mu eyes.

I didn't have any pain and it was just a little bit bloodshot .

I was very frightened when it first happened but you need to get an accurate diagnosis before you start to worry.

Meds can sometimes affect our sight but it does need to be properly investigated.

Hope all goes well for you.

Take care.
