A member asked:

I have a swollen area on the inside of my left eye on the white part only i have also been experiencing black spots floating around in my vision in both eyes what is causing it and what should i do about it?

Swollen: I am worried about the spots-- you may have a retinal tear or detachment. Seek care soon from your local ophthalmologist. The swollen area on your sclera should also be checked.
