Hello......I don't know if you remember me but I was dx with Pars Planitis last September and have posted a few questions here before.....anyway lol I am not on any meds for the PP (was told my inflammation is too far back to treat) I am being monitored every 6 months with a dilated exam. My next dilated exam is Sept 14.
Since the PP dx I have been seeing flashes of light in both eyes daily. I also, for about the past 6 weeks or more have been having eye pain upon first opening my eyes in the morning. I don't ever rub my eyes or even touch my face when I first wake up. I look over at my clock and while doing so notice that both my eyes are hurting. It only lasts about 30-45 seconds then it's gone. I am also seeing black dots everywhere. Sometimes to the point where I think I see something in my peripheral vision field and when I turn and look, nothing is there!
I have mentioned the eye pain and black dots to both my Rheumy & my eye Dr. My eye Dr said that it may or may not be a problem. And that is all I got. She is already aware of me seeing the flashes of light. I plan on bringing up the eye pain, black dots & refreshing her memory about me seeing the flashes of light daily at my dilation appt.
I do have Sjogren's Syndrome......no dry eyes just dry mouth, fatigue & joint pain. I just don't know what is going on anymore and sometimes I feel like I am in this fight alone. I only have one pair of eyes. And I started having problems with my eyes around age 8 and I am 42 now. I am just terrified I am going to lose my eyesight!!!
Thank you so much in advance for any insight you might be able to give me as to what might be going on.
