Occasionally, there will be a cloudy patch that obscures my vision, often covering the full field of sight in the eye. If I gently rub my eyelid, it moves off to the side. Sometimes, it comes again within a day or two, and sometimes it doesn't reappear for weeks or even months. This has come up two or three times this week, so it's on my mind. Usually, I only notice it in the right eye, but today it happened in the left one. The first time this happened, 7 or 8 years ago, I immediately went to the local eye hospital, where I got diagnosed with nascent cataracts in both eyes, so I assumed that the cloudy patch was a symptom of the cataracts. In the meantime, I've been treating the cataracts pretty successfully with Ayurvedic medicines like elaneer kuzhampu. They are still very small, though they fluctuate a bit, getting worse when there is more stress in my life, and decreasing again later. I get examined twice a year, and the cataracts are still stage 1. But I'm confused because I've recently learned that those floating patches are not related to the cataracts. I always assumed cataracts could float, so I never thought to ask any of the doctors about it. What am I experiencing?
