Ed, what you described is an ocular migraine. I use to get them all the time while sawing, and still get them on occasion.

Sounds like a partially detached retina, a "floater", which is a piece of small particulate debris in the vitrious of the eye that got into the wrong spot, or even a cataract.  A cataract, however, would not develop as a sudden loss of vision.  Best of luck tomorrow.  Where's the closest ophthalmologist to you?

Best news possible. I had some fibers tear away from the optic nerve, but it did not result in a tear of the retina. Odds now of the retina tearing are quite low because it didn't tear initially. In time my vision should clear up and the flashing subside.  What I thought was much worse for this eye than the other because of the symptoms, turned out to be not near as bad.

Good news indeed. Guess we'll be seeing each other next month after all. Yeah, I know. Poor humor.

Sounds good, if not already bad enough. Take care.

Good news, that sounds like a Vitreous separation which is what I had.  Yes, I agree with LeeB, it will be good for us to be able to see each other.  ;)

Jeff,

Good to hear that it was not to bad. What would cause the fibers to tear?

If it was a Vitreous separation, the cause is directly related to birthdays and heritage.  ::)

Good to hear this outcome.

I had breakfast at the White House.  Excellent.  Always nice when your doc says ,"do nothing, and it will get better."
