Seeing small area of blinking, multicolored dots in both eyes

Posted by ljmontgo @ljmontgo, 2 days ago

It's not Visual Snow Syndrome which, by definition, affects the entire visual field. It started September 1 so I soon saw my regular retina specialist who reported no changes since prior scans or any obvious problems. My primary care doc gave a a referral for a brain MRI which showed no abnormalities. I then saw a neuro-opthonologist who found no neurological issues.

There are times when my brain can seemingly filter out the blinking dots but they reappear as soon as I think about them. I'm thinking that something is causing "static" somewhere in the signal chain between my retina and my visual cortex. I'll update this thread if I learn anything useful. Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.

Sounds like you have a great doctor.
Are you take any eye drops. I’m guessing It could be a reaction to some kind of drop that you might be putting in your eyes.
You have a mystery there
And I wish you the very best figuring this out

@minnesota10 Thanks for the response. I occasionally take eye drops in the morning bit not most mornings. But I can give them up and see if it makes any difference.
