If bothers you: Yes, you need to ask the ophthalmologist what  he/she thinks it is.

Constant blurry spot: A constant blurred spot in your vision would suggest a retinal problem and should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist.

Question 3

Floater: Most likely a blurred spot / peice of jelly (vitreaous) in the eye.  These can be normal.

See eye MD NOW: Could be retinal detachment  or intra-ocular hemorrhage.  See your eye md immediately!

Question 5

shooting pain on one spot on my head that comes out of nowhere and at the same time my vision gets blurry. wasn't injured so what can be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: The usual question that people are concerned about is whether this might be a manifestation of a brain tumor or an aneurysm. This is not the usual presentation for these entities. However, it is a good idea to observe this and take notes that you can present to your doctor to help him/her figure this out. The nature of the pain, the blurred vision-what brings it on, how long does it last etc.?

Question 6

hi i poked myself with the corner of a feather pillow last monday night.  the next morning i noticed a small black spot in my line of  vision that the?

Accepted Answer

Get an eye exam: You might have a small abrasion (cut) in the  cornea of your eye. A simple eye exam done at an urgent care or doctor can identify this. If this is the case you should get on some antibiotic eye drops to prevent eye infection.

Question 7

upon waking or opening my eyes, i see  a small transparent red  spot in  the center of my vision lasting   1-2  seconds. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Red spot noticeable: It is not common to see a red spot when you awaken. And if you see any red or pink spots, you should go to your eye doctor and have it examined. Through a dilated fundoscopic examination, they can pinpoint what is causing it, and what needs to be done, or if it just needs to be monitored. Yes, be concerned, and get a second opinion if you need to.

Question 8

constant blurry spot in center of vision on right eye that wont go away. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Retina: I would get this checked.  I would be concernef about a retinal or retinal artery problem

Question 9

i accidentally shone a 20 milliwatt laser into my eyes. it was at close range as it was reflected from a mirror. there is a small dark spot in my vision. what should i do. am i just blinded in that spot permanently?

Accepted Answer

: Would advise an appointment with your ophthalmologist,  as you may have injured a portion of your retina.  Visual field testing and direct ocular examination will likely provide answers.

Question 10

12 days ago i was cutting onion and then i suddenly experienced in my eye the most painful eye feeling i've ever felt. ever since, there's been a problem with my vision. my right eye has a spot that's darker and slightly more blurry. will it heal?

Accepted Answer

: See an eye doctor for an urgent visit. Onion juice may of course cause some temporary eye irritation and watering, but I would worry about a foreign body in your eye, causing corneal abrasion or actual foreign body impeded within your eyeball. Foreign bodies may have occurred at around the same time your were working on the onions! You didn't mention whether you wear contact lenses. Good luck!
