I am 68 years old and get a wavy or mirage like condition in the corner of my right eye. It only lasts about 15 to 20 minutes and appears to move. It used to happen once every 6 months or so, but for the last month it happens almost every week. I have not had a headache in years and feel no pain from this condition. It always affects my peripheral vision and occasionally affects where I am trying to focus until in moves to my peripheral before disappearing. It almost always happens in the morning.
Thanks Doctor Hagan! To conclude in addition to 4 opthalmologist , I have consulted a neurologist ophthalmologist and a neurologist. The symptoms seem to be worsening off but again no one knows why. I think I will get the visual field test done as well, just to get it out of the way. I am seeing another ophthalmologist today.
Though I have been told by couple of ophthalmologist that’s maybe because I am under too stress this is manifesting. I find it difficult to believe but they are one of the best in the country I come from.
It's "ophthalmologist" and you need to see a different one for another opinion. Some of the tests you may need besides a fresh opinion: cornea topography to rule out irregular astigmatism, another look at your lens, macular OCT/OCTA, fluorscene angiography, visual fields. There is a cause and more digging needs to be done.
