bubble like vision, bright, wavy lines, headache
I have a history of brain cancer with 32 rounds of intrathecal chemo. With also 8 months regular intravenous, 9 yrs ago. 3 months ago, I was on my laptop tv in background. My vision turned bright, and it was like I was looking out of a bubble. 15 min. in I laid back, took a cold washcloth and put it over my eyes. 20 min. later I was better. Took 2 days before vision was normal. Eye doc. said my eyes were good. 17 days later, same thing. This time I paid more attention to what was happening. Brightness, I could see wavy lines going across my eyes. Extreme headaches next 2 days. I don't recall extreme headaches first time, but I have memory problems so. CT, MRI, EEG all normal. Neurologist says migraine or seizers. I get headaches all the time but nothing like this. Anyone else ever see wavy lines going across their vision? Bright bubble-like vision?

My bio mom had that. Optometrist said it was nothing and she had a retina detachment and macular degeneration. Ophthalmologist found it.

1 ReactionThe wavy lines is what she had.
My optometrist did Thurow check on my eyes, said they were in very good shape.
Same thing with my mom optometrist missed it, but the Ophthalmologist said it had been a long time since she had seen one. She sees one now and got to escape blindness thankfully. I will not go to an optometrist mine missed something super serious and I have permanent vision loss due to it. Fortunately I can still see out of one eye. We only get one set of eyes.
Wishing you the best.
We all want to trust our doctors. My first doc. of over 25 years missed a heart defect known for SDS. Went to them saying I thought there was something wrong with my heart. They said I didn't. Had a stress test with them every year. Went through over 33 yrs worrying about having a heart attack. Not doing certain stressful things. Then they missed my cancer for over 40 days even after MRI said possibility. Long story how it was found, not by them. 8 months of chemo. Still a mess now, but alive. Then 7 more yrs. searching for a cardiologist that would believe me. Finaly open heart to correct it 33 yrs after I first went to a doctor for it. So I know about docs not finding things.
