Left eye smi-blurry

Bonne soir,

My left eye, as it is doing right now, goes a tad (hardly noticable) blurry when i rub it, or close my eyelid. It more of my eyelid feeling a little weird. It happens very rarely and theres nothing wrong with the sight...should I get it checked out?

I see that you wrote this at 2am. Could that be the problem?

Probably nothing serious, the thought of getting off the sofa makes me dizzy, but sounds like a visit to the doc could be in order just to be on the safe side.

See an ophthalmologist or at least an optician.

Thyroid problems perhaps? I have hypothyroidism currently following treatment for an overactive thyroid. I get exactly the symptoms you describe in my eyes, however was informed that it may be the case. Get a blood test measuring T4/TSH if you are at all concerned - look at symtoms on webmd.com.

Re fainting - is your heart rate particularly slow at all? BP?

Not something to worry about if it is the case - easily sorted - but far less likely than you simply being a bit tired, or having a bit of a cold perhaps?

Get checked for low blood pressure as soon as you can ! An opto can tell an amazing array of things regarding your health, just by looking into your eyes. You need to be tested right away to eliminate any conditions.

Let us know how you get on.
