the contacts might have cut your eye a little. Happen to a friend.

Right, symptom 1:
I see a sort of.. speck. It's as if there was a piece of dirt on my eye, and I could see it (without the excruciating pain) It's always there, but it's particularly visible when I look at bright things. When I look at something else, the speck follows, but with delayed motion. It's also pretty small.
But its so tempting to do so.stryyker wrote:

Symptom one sounds oddly like retinal burns.
Its like when you yell 'dont look' the first thing someone does, is look!
15 more years! 15 more years!
Yeah, I have a floater, seeing it against bright backgrounds is the key, isnt anything to worry about, just stuck with it.CC-Marley wrote:

the other symptoms could be bad prescription! none of us are trained eye specialists so go see one rule out anything dodgy!!
Something like 95% of eye loss condtions can be cured if caught early!! so go get looked at mate!!
Sounds like you burned part of your retina from looking at a bright light or laserLucien wrote:

a sharp speck is a floater on the lense! if your burn your retina it creates blurry gaps in your vision, you brain tries to compensate, stop trying to scare them, but a trip to the specialist is a must!bennisboy wrote:

I really do believe if you think you'll go blind, there very well is a chance it might. Obviously, not thinking about it can still cause it but don't go rushing into things is all I can say. Logical explanations always litter around.
Sounds a lot like eye strain. I work in IT, staring at a monitor for much of the day, and I have minor headaches and a blurry halo sometimes. I don't wear glasses, so I can't say this isn't caused by an improper prescription. My wife had headaches when her prescription was off . . . for whatever that's worth.
The speck thing is most commonly minor scratches/scaring on the cornea. I have them in both eyes. If I look at a clear blue sky so some such, I see what look to be gnats in my vision. Annoying at times, but harmless.
Chances are, if you go to a specialist he/she'll tell you the same thing. Don't be too worried until you've done that!

OOOO!!!! I JUST TOOK A CLASS ON THIS ON MY FIRST TERM OF UNI!!!
I'M SOMEWHAT CREDIBLE!!!
OKay...Here I try to diagnose:
1st Symptom...Probably a floater, everyone gets them. Google it, you'll find a clear definition of what's going on there.
2nd Symptom...The contact lens discomfort is probably normal also. Some people are more sensitive to having an object on their EYEBALL!!! But if you wish to continue wearing contact lens...make sure to moisten the lens and your eyes with eye drops or something of that nature.
3rd Symptom...You're looking at extremely bright objects too long and your cone cells are over stimulated...when you suddenly look at something of high contrast (such as a dark background), the neurotransmitters stimulated by the light is still going to be firing. HENCE you see color in absence of light. There's a whole thing about trichromatic colors and why you see "orange" or "blue"...but that's negligible in a BF2S forum. So advice here is to STOP STRAINING YOUR EYES with bright objects!

They should invent healthy computer monitors, the company who does that would get my money.
Really, I got nothing better to do than sit at the comp all day!
