Question 1

when i blink i see a black spot?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: If a new vision symptom pops up, one should see his primary care doctor and/or an ophthalmologist (eye doctor). Vision is so important, so it is good to have a doctor get the whole story and examine the eyes. It may or may not be something to worry about, but one cannot tell without an evaluation.

Question 2

when i blink, i see a black spot in the corner of my left eye. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This may signifiy a problem with the retina.  When you blink it stresses the retina with rapid changes in light intensity and may uncover a weaker spot.  Should be looked at with a dilated examination by an ophthalmologist.

Question 3

from past few days when i blink i see small black dot flickering as i blink from my right eye. i do have floaters from past 2-3 years. but what is this? last eye checkup was done 3-4 months ago. what is that black spot only seen while i blink?

Accepted Answer

: Flickering black dot is a typical floater. So I wonder what you have seen in the last couple years and you call them floaters.

Question 4

what can i do if i see a spot in my vision when i blink?

Accepted Answer

See an Eye MD: It probably is just a floater but you should have an exam by and eye md to be sure it is not something more significant.  After i had cataract surgery, i had my floaters removed surgically.

Question 5

see a small black spot when blink my right eye, only on bright background indoors not in outdoor. its not floater and not retinal dect. checkedby oph.

Accepted Answer

PVD: Most black dots noted in vision are floaters or PVD: posterior retinal detachment (more info: eyedoc2020@blogspot.com). If eyeMD did not see any of these, get a visual field HVF to be sure no defects in vision pathway: macula, nerve, brain

Question 6

when i look at something bright, like my tv...i will see bright looking spots in my field of vision. it is hard to explain...but if i blink fast, it i?

Accepted Answer

Visual spots: Please see your eye doctor to make sure all is well.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

i feel a rough spot on the inside of my right cheeck but can not see it . what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Show your dentist: Could be inflammatory, could be opening of salivary duct, wart, cyst,  "white lesion leukoplakia" , pre-cancerous. Could be response to chronic irritation from teeth, dentures, etc. Didn't mention if you smoke use drugs like meth, dip tobacco, abuse mouthwash, chew betel nuts,  or have other risk factors for oral cancer. May be something, may be nothing much. Show your dentist.

Question 8

seeing a blue spot in the dark it is kind of like it a blinking light it goes away when i turn a light on also see flashes in the dark?

Accepted Answer

Visual symptoms: Please see an opthalmologist.  The flashes of light in the dark MAY indicated a retina problem.  He/she will help you.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

what could be the cause of a black spot in my vision when i blink?

Accepted Answer

May be retinal: This may signifiy a problem with the retina. When you blink it stresses the retina with rapid changes in light intensity and may uncover a weaker spot. Should be looked at with a dilated examination by an ophthalmologist.
