Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2008Distortion in my peripheral visison
The most bizzare thing happened to me the other day while in work i had the a distortion of my my peripheral vision in my left eye mostly. to try and describe it I would have to say it was like around the outside of my vision towards the left, it was all shaking in a distorted sort of a way. This lasted for about 10 minutes and became quite distressing. But within seconds of phoning my wife it stopped suddenly. I was left feeling a little queazy(sick). Anybody shed any light on this? > The most bizzare thing happened to me the other day while in work i > had the a distortion of my my peripheral vision in my left eye mostly.

Incipient detached retina -- is always a concern. I would suggest having it checked out by an ophthalmologist.

I'm not a doctor, but I believe that what you describe could be caused by any number of things, from retinal problems to migraine headache. For once I agree with Otis - go get examined by an opthalmologist and find out if it is anything serious. It's your eyesight, so don't take any chances with it. > The most bizzare thing happened to me the other day while in work i > had the a distortion of my my peripheral vision in my left eye mostly.

Maybe you had a hard, tiring day at work which gave you mental strain. Mental strain can cause all kind of wierd illusions. Sounds like migraine. You said "left eye mostly" - if you meant there was some in the right eye too, it pretty much has to be migraine. Instead of headache, you got "queasy." That's migraine too. Sometimes there's just visual symptoms and _no_ discomfort or headache. It's still migraine. If you develop pain, or numbness, weakness, or difficulty in speech, see a doctor right away. -MT > The most bizzare thing happened to me the other day while in work i > had the a distortion of my my peripheral vision in my left eye mostly.
