Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does A Blurred Image In The Peripheral Vision Indicate?
75 yr old Male. Random occurring visual anomaly in periphery of right eye. Visual image appears to as if I am underwater and looking through the water at the surface, Only lasts a few moments and only in the rt eye. While this is happening, the rest of the visual image is normal in that eye and in the left. Cannot see any pattern to this anomaly. My family Doc suggests I see a neural ophthalmologist. Thoughts?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Decreased peripheral vision seen in glaucoma, vision loss or trauma or retinal degeneration, etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your ophthalmologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
