BLACK SPOT WHEN WAKING UP IN MORNING

[cap_01]

Hello, from few days I'm suffering from this symptom I dont know why this happening but I am suffering lot of anxiety about this symptom.
When I wake up in morning and see white wall, I see black circular spot in my vision that fades away untill my eye adjusted. It take 15 to 20 sec to go away. I also see purkinje tree.
That spot visible on side of central vision in both eye.

Of course if this is new symptom you need to see an ophthalmologist for a complete exam with dilated pupils and have a macular OCT test. Only after that testing can you be reassured it is nothing to worry about. In a normal eye the symptoms is caused by the eye adjusting from dark vision during sleep (scotopic vision) to bright light vision (photopic vision). The center of the eye (macula) adjusts different than the rest of the retina. There are numerous discussions on this website about the symptom. Some people see a light colored circle.
