Question : I am seeing a circular prism in my left eye. This started about ten minutes ago. It is getting larger. Should I go to my eye dr or emergency room?
Brief Answer:
Better to go the ER for a prompt check-up
Detailed Answer:
Hello ! Thank you for posting your question to HCM .
You should go to the emergency room since it is getting worse ( Could be a migraine sign). They will check your medications for any side effect and to do some examinations (neurologic and check your vision).
If you write the name of the medications I will help you with the information if they have or haven't this side effect but in any case you should be checked by a local doctor .
Hope this help.
Take Care !
