Flash of Haze when looking to the side

[jonescg]

I had Lasik about 6 months ago and about 3 months after the procedure I started seeing a large number of floaters.  Soon there after I began experiencing a flash of fog/haze in my field of vision when I look to the side, or move my eyes back and forth (most noticeable when in a darker room and looking outside or if I look at lights on the ceiling).  It doesnt seem to mimic a floater and doesnt move in any particular direction.  I definitely see numerous black squiggly lines and clear blobs prior to and after the flash.  There is just a pulse of fog/haze then it goes away.  Its almost like when you breath on a cold window and it fogs up and goes away really fast.  I told my surgeon (ophthalmologist) about it and he performed a thorough exam and said he didnt see anything, but he also said he doesnt see floaters either.  So Im not sure what is going on there.  Anyway, Im not sure what to do, but its definitely a cause for some major concern.  Any suggestions are welcome?

Because they are the "Floater" specialists. Make sure the retina is healthy by seeing retina Eye MD.  If they don't find a problem then you can consider a second cornea specialist. Makes more sense to start on back of eye

Is there a particular reason you suggest a retinal surgeon vs a cornea specialist?

Thanks.

Ask your ophthalmologist to refer you to a retinal surgeon ophthalmologist for a second opinion. This should not be offensive to your Eye MD
