My eye doctor is going to run further tests, but believes I may have glaucoma . My pressures get higher every year along with vision problems. I am 37. I work at a tax office and this is our peak time of year, I m extremely busy, so thought if I could get a quick opinion it would be great. When I awoke this morning, I had big squiggly lines (kind of like lightening bolts, but squigglier) going across my vision in both eyes. The left, I could not see past them, the right, I still had some vision. I closed them and opened them numerous times and it did not cease. I put in my contacts...I don t know why I thought it might help, but I did, and it did not help. This continued for about 15 mins. then it subsided and I have had no other issues today, outside of my left eye seeming a little cloudy, but nothing too bothersome. I have never had this experience before or anything like it and it alarmed me. Would it have anything to do with glaucoma or may there be another issue possibly?
