I'm off to the eye doctor this week: About 6-7 years ago I had lightning bolt flashes of white light in both eyes when getting up in the morning. When I rang the eye doctor and told him, this he immediately cleared a spot in his busy schedule and had me go in that day. It turned out that my eyes were just ageing a bit and the clear gel in the eyeball was hardening with age and separating from the retina which in severe cases can detach the retina. In my case it was fine apart from a few floaters of retina fibres.
So today I'm having a Sunday nap as I had a bit of a sinus headache from all the stick welding of a new bench and I wanted to give the neighbours a break from the angle grinder. I noticed that when I was lying down on my side, one eye, the uppermost eye was dimmer than the lower eye, this made colours more grey or less bright in the uppermost eye. I only noticed because I was holding my forehead with my hand and it split the vision so that only one eye could see part of an object, not both eyes. With both eyes looking at the same part of an object, you can't see anything wrong.
This upset me a little and I experimented with it a bit to the point that rolling over in bed and making the other eye uppermost duplicated the effect, the other eye, now on top was seeing things a little darker than the lowermost eye. Sitting up resulted in no visible difference in vision brightness, so at least the effect happens to both eyes and is reversible.
So....anyone ever experience this?, do I have a brain tumour? does this explain some of my idiot posts on this forum??.
