I have some retinal damage from an unknown source. All I remember is one morning on the way to school mentioning that there was a spot in my vision that was dark like after looking at the sun, but it hadn’t gone away for hours. over 15years later it never went away, but it is indeed papered over by my brain. Still not sure if it was something internal, or if I played with the wrong end of a laser pointer.
- gwillen 4y agoI got something like that not long ago, and it was diagnosed as acute macular neuroretinopathy. Luckily, in many cases it apparently resolves on its own, and mine did. Was the spot slightly off-center in your vision? That's where it tends to happen. As I recall, it's fairly random and fairly rare, but apparently it's been seen a bit more during COVID.
- totetsu 4y agoMine is a cone shape extending out from my natural blind spot with the point ending just before the center of vision. so It's easy to miss with both eyes open. If I close one eye and look at a word, the word a few words to the right is.. a strange blur of the colours around it.
