Emergency visit to eye doctor
Checking out at store and right eye exploded with black lava lamp like images. Went home and put groceries in fridge. Googled issue and then called opticians for opinion or urgency. Had to drive straight in as definitely deteriorating hazy vision. So several tests later they said it was PVD - Posterior Vitreous Detachment. I knew the eye was filled with fluid which is almost solid. I didn't know it could change consistency (in my case suddenly) and affect vision. I have a long eye and if you are 6 diopters or more you are prone to this. Basically it detaches from retina (may or may not tear it) and see the shadow of it doing this. After many exams and opticians worried about glaucoma - this was never on the radar as a problem I could have. Really hassled by after having LASIK for 10 years and great vision for first time in life - it is now gone. They say takes 6 weeks to stabilize the detachment and the brain to begins to try and cancel out the shadow (remember brain rotates the image and does alot of filtering!) . Told absolutely no treatment and something have to learn to live with. And always be an issue. I also had a full test in April and 5 months later get this. I go back in a month to make sure the detachment is not causing a retina tear. There was no sign today - was intact and healthy. So lets see when it happens to other eye. I guess have 2 for a reason! Also they said that older people will have it and not know it as it occurs gradually while their eyesight is deteriorating. I had a PVD event. Lucky me.
