Read full - Heat Wave vision & floaters

2023-10-11 15:37:10
Hello Doctors, I know someone posted similar topic but I have additional symptoms. Kindly help me. Thank you 1.  With my eyes movement, black floaters move with a some heat wave effect in sunlight. At that time, the surface of anything I see in transparent background gets distorted/bouncy until I move it away from it. 2. Does it go away after floaters go down to the base of the eye in few months or permanent? 3) When I look out of balcony my vision is like I am looking through heat wave also. Far away mild blur like looking through a veil like some polithene cover stopping me to focus crisply though I can see everything finely.  Doctors say I shouldn't notice much vision change with small powers without glasses. Dilated test +0.25 sph & -0.25 cyl. Is it possible I am noticing it without glasses? 4) Glasses are giving some  convergent effect like everything is squished congested.  Should I recheck my prescription?

What you are describing are called as floaters. Eye is filled with a clear gel called vitreous which breaks down eventually leading to this feeling of floating strands around inside the eye. Sometimes it causes pull on your retina inside the eye which is responsible for your vision feeling distorted and blurred. Eventually it can also lead to a retinal detachment where the pull on the retina ultimately causes it to detach. Please see a retina surgeon immediately for a thorough checkup where the doctor will do a dilated retinal examination and make sure everything is okay.
