Seeing things out of the corner of my eye

Hello @ryman. As I recall you had a lumbar puncture recently. Have you received the results of that test yet? Given the dizziness, head and eye pain it might be good to report this to your doctor. Perhaps some other members might be able to contribute to this discussion, but in the meantime, give your doc a call. I hope you get feeling better soon! Teresa

@ryman That is good that you are going to the appointments prepared with a list of questions. Keep a journal of these images that you see out of the corner of your eye and see if they are at a particular time of the day, after a certain type of activity, etc. That might be helpful as well. Teresa
I agree that it's very appropriate to notify the Dr. They can determine by phone certain characteristics and distinguish between something that needs promptly attention and something that can wait until your scheduled appointment. For example, a floater that confirms to size, shade etc vs something involving the retina. Opthalmologists don't mind at all a call like that...bc it's important to be screened.

Yes, I had a lumbar last week but all I know so far is that there is no infection. I see the eye dr a week from today and the neurologist a week later. I am working on questions for the neurologist - actually she told me to.
