I have had spots of light appear and disappear in front of my eyes for a few days now. This is the first time I have ever had this happen. What can I do to get rid of them?

You really need to see a doctor for this but until you do Excedrine makes a pain reliever that is called Excedrine Migrane and they can work if taken early enough. Migrane's are different for different people, pleas make sure that you talk to your doctor.

Don't worry! the other day I told my husband that we need a Lew Nounge....(new lounge).\n\n\n If you are really concerned about your eyes, you really should have them looked at by an optometrist. most eye problems need to be treated in the early stages, so don't wait until they are beyond repair!!!

When you came home from cherry picking and noticed the spot, chances were you had gotten a little bit of sunlight that day. While the rest of your face/skin tans, sometimes those white areas show up. \nIt could be many things, but I know for certain that areas of previous blemishes, scars, cuts, scabs, acne etc that have been picked at, scratched, and the top layer of skin traumatized or removed can somewhat remove the skin pigment, or color, that was once there. For instance, if you once had a fairly deep skin cut and it has since healed, notice how that area is different than the rest of your skin. Most likely it is alot lighter in color and some sort of difference can easily be seen. This is one example of how skin color can lighten as the result of some damage, removal to the area.  It will REALLY show up once you being to tan or get some color on the rest of your skin around it. \n\nWhen you were younger, can you remember a time that perhaps you had chicken pox, or a scar of some sort in that same spot that now shows up white?\n\nAs far as skin cancer goes, those areas are generally raised, and not smooth as the skin around it. One doctor told me once that if hair was growing from the area, it couldn't be cancer...but that was long ago and new developments in skin cancer types and treatment may make that information incorrect by now.\n\nFrom how you describe it, I would say it sounds like a loss of skin pigmentation.

The technical term is "floater".  This is material from the retina (the light detecting portion of the eye) that has made its way into the vitreous fluid of the eye (the jelly-like material that fills up much of the eye).  These can be cholesterol plaques, old blood, or some of the cells that line the retina.  While the majority of these are benign and will clear themselves (usually takes several months), it is recommended that you talk to a doctor about them as they can be a warning sign of more serious medical problems.

Facts About Floaters\n\nFloaters are little "cobwebs" or specks that float about in your field of vision. They are small, dark, shadowy shapes that can look like spots, thread-like strands, or squiggly lines. They move as your eyes move and seem to dart away when you try to look at them directly. They do not follow your eye movements precisely, and usually drift when your eyes stop moving.\n\nIn most cases, floaters are part of the natural aging process and simply an annoyance. They can be distracting at first, but eventually tend to "settle" at the bottom of the eye, becoming less bothersome. They usually settle below the line of sight and do not go away completely. Most people have floaters and learn to ignore them; they are usually not noticed until they become numerous or more prominent. Floaters can become apparent when looking at something bright, such as white paper or a blue sky.\n\nFloaters occur when the vitreous, a gel-like substance that fills about 80 percent of the eye and helps it maintain a round shape, slowly shrinks. As the vitreous shrinks, it becomes somewhat stringy, and the strands can cast tiny shadows on the retina. These are floaters.\n\nFloaters are more likely to develop as we age and are more common in people who are very nearsighted, have diabetes, or who have had a cataract operation. There are other, more serious causes of floaters, including infection, inflammation (uveitis), hemorrhaging, retinal tears, and injury to the eye.

Those are usually called "floaters", and they're basically bits of undissolved organic material literally "floating" in the gel part of your eye. They aren't a big deal unless they start impeding with vision, which can be a sign of a tear somewhere in your eye. If you've seen an optomitrist and they can't find any tear then it's just floaters (which unfortunately do get worse with age).

that could be retinal detachment. i would definitely go to an eye specialist immediately for testing. instead of waiting for an appointment, inform them that it's an emergency and describe what you are/aren't seeing.

I think your monitor needs to be replaced or repaired. The faded spots are burn spots from the monitor being on or are spots where the pixels are dying. It's not something that can be cleaned.

Okie... here's something that might help! U have unexplained headaches, you cant read those advert banners from far/ the blackboard in class from the last bench, your eyes get runny and itchy when youre trying to focus on a distant object, far away lights at night seem blurry and not pin points. If the answer to ANY of the above is YES.... its time to visit your friendly neighborhood Optometrist/ Ophthalmologist :) and btw... spectacles can make you look CUTE!

It sounds like just an infection.  The best thing to do is not wear your contacts for a few days.  Even if your eye goes back to normal its best to wait another day or two afterwords before using your contacts again.  If these symptoms don't subside, i would seriously recommend seeing an eye doctor.

See an optometrist. This could be serious. I doubt an OTC medicine could help you with this.

Best thing to do would be to see an Ophthalmologist. You could be having an allergy issue, but it could be something much worse, and only a doctor would be able to make sure.\n\nGood luck

Do you have floaters? Floaters will appear as little black specks in your vision. If you have those and are seeing the bright flashes of light then you really need to get to a doctor as soon as possible. Your retina could be detaching. This also can be caused by an ocular migraine. Look up floaters and ocular migraines on the internet and read more about the symptoms of each.

sounds like a simple eye infection. keep it clean and wash it regularly and it should be fine in a few days.
