I was finished reading in bed last night - I had a low bedside light on both side of the bed and switched off the light on my side. Then it looked to me as if it were snowing dust - I looked up to see if things were falling of the ceiling it was that weird. I turned on the main light and the 'snowy vision' went away but returned when I turned it off again. It was OK again this morning
Just wondering if anyone else has had this phenomenon and whether it is associated with PMR
Thamks in advance y'all

That's a great link. About 6 weeks ago, I got lots of floaters and light flashes. I had no idea what was happening and was a bit worried. I posted on this forum and it was suggested it might be posterior vitreous detachment and that I needed it checked out in case it was more serious. I went to the optician that day and she was able to confirm that was what it was. I still get some floaters, depending on the light, but, apparently your brain gets used to them and stops seeing them. I have grown quite fond of my little cobwebs!
It might be worth getting your eyes checked by the optometrist - especially if it happens again. Eyes are precious - once too often is better than once too few!
Before l was diagnosed with PMR,l had flashes in my left eye, l had an eye test but they could not find anything wrong.The flashes disappeared after a short time.
Not 'floaters' it was as if the whole room was filled with shiny dust which I really thought was coming from the ceiling. Little specks but millions of them - check this out dailymail.co.uk/health/arti... - the dancing dots is what I saw, I just wondered if it was anything to do with the PMR or GCA (which I haven't been diagnosed with) - as you do with every pain or ache etc.
