What Causes Distorted Vision?

In my left eye I am seeing a kalidascope effect off to the left, kind of effects my vision in that eye..looks like a triangle shape with one line missing and it has all these moving parts in it like a kalidascope . Do you know what causes this, it is the second time this has happened in a few years. Last for about 10-15 min.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have distorted vision . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like glaucoma eye injury , retinal detachment , stroke , presbyopia , cataracts , optic neuritis , epilepsy or migraine . I would suggest you to consult ophthalmologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may recommend lenses , laser treatment or surgery . For now wash your eyes with cold water twice a day , apply warm compresses , avoid dust , prevent them from direct sunlight and do not touch with dirty hands .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
