Broken capillary: Likely a broken capillary within the delicate tissue below the eye. If this is an isolated symptoms, it will likely clear in a couple of days and not recur.

Accepted Answer

Vitreous tug: The vitreous jelly in the bag of the eye can push against the retina and cause this. Please get a full dilated exam to make sure that the retina is ok.

Question 4

on my left eye, im seeing a thin black thread, what is that mean?

Accepted Answer

Floater: Usually just a vitreous floater caused by thin strands of connective tissue that run through the vitreous jelly in the back of your eye.  Sometimes, however, there can be blood in the eye from diabetic retinopathy or trauma. Go see your specialist eye md (ophthalmologist) who will establish the exact cause.

Question 5

my left eye went completely black. couldnt see anything in that eye ?

Accepted Answer

See ophthalmologist!: Abrupt painless vision loss is concerning for a stoke ( either arterial which could mean you have blockage in the arteries in your neck) or venous, which could also indicate vascular disease from hypertension or glaucoma. Treatment will depend on the findings on your clinical exam.

Question 6

everytime i look to the left then right with my eyes real quick i see a black flash with my left eye?

Accepted Answer

Interesting: I would suspect a "floater" in the fluid that fiils the eyeball.  There also complex circuitry in the brain affecting your perception of vision as the eyes move quickly, so if you do this fast enough, maybe you're overriding the system.  If any other symptoms such as pain, double vision, blurry vision; certainly consider an appointment for a complete eye exam and visual field assessment.

Question 7

how do i treat the floating-fly (black dots) in my sight vision?, i been having them in my left eye for 2 years now.

Accepted Answer

Common problem: Many will observe some degree of floating objects in the visual space which represent membrane fragments and opacities in the vitreous cavity in the back of the eye. These are usually benign, especially at your age, and there is no treatment.  You will learn to ignore and compensate for yours.

Question 8

i everyday for over a week i have been seeing what looks like static on a tv, black and white flashing lights in the lower left corner of my left eye ?

Accepted Answer

Flashing lights eyes: I would see you Dr as may be having serious blood blood flow to brain. Unless you have had migraine.

Question 9

i have noticed this last few weeks, on going to bed and turning the light off, if i open my eyes i see a black blob in my left eye vision, but if i blink a few times it will disappear. i do not have this problem in day light?

Accepted Answer

: This is probably a floater but to be certain, you should see an eye doctor. If it is associated with pain or if your vision is worsening, please get checked by a doctor ASAP. Good luck!!

Question 10

in my left eye i have a small black dot i have green eyes, should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Reassurance : An exam will be best to assess what sounds like a pigment lesion on your Iris. Most of these are benign nevi or freckles, but if you are noticing this for the very first time, an exam is even moreover important. Good luck.
