hi malvika.....
i have exactly the same prob in my both as of you....
also i m getting married very soon but i havenot told this to my wife yet...
i got nervous whnever i think of my future life........
I have high myopia (-17.5) in both eyes and I have regular retina check ups done, every 6 months. Recently I had eye allergy for which I went to the doctor, and got my retina checked up by a retina specialist too. She said I have some weak areas, but right now nothing has to be done, but just keep a watch. My queries are:
1) Does having latices means I will have retinal detachment surely sometime? I do not have a family history of retinal detachment, though my father and grandmom has high myopia.
I get retinas checked every 6 monhths, but can I have detachment suddenly or should I be assured for sometime after i get checked?
2) I see floaters, but they were almost always there. Does it indicate anything?
3) I see light bubbles passing through the sides of my eyes in cirlcles in anticlockwise motion for a second or 2, 4-5 times a day, specially if I am working or suddenly close my eyes or be in dark, after i am in a lighted room for long. Are they flashes related to retinal prob? I see them in lighted rooms also, along with a bozzy feeling and dull headache sometimes..
My doctor said retinal flashes are almost always seen in dark rooms and not moving in a circle like I have.
What are these coming for?
Please help...I am going mad in tension.
You are developing contact lens intolerance due to computer vision syndrome. Research computer vision syndrome. You can get lots of lifestyle management tips at www.dryeeyezone.com. The short answer is that with careful contact lens selection, excellent lens hygiene, limited wearing time, and attention to underlying causes of eye dryness you can continue wearing your contact lenses.
