Hi all

Ok about two weeks afo having done a very physical job for a couple of hours I thought I had water on my glasses part if my vision in one eye was distorted like I was looking through a prIsm it stayed for about an hour after it went I had some lose of periferal vision

Ok fast forward

Last few days I have had a few problems

1 my eye is really painful and the veins are very red and protruding from the eye this comes and goes

My eye plays tricks with light sometimes the sensation makes me feel sick or woozy. Sometimes it like I'm in a deep dark hole and any light seems very bright but doesn't penitrate far

It's the same eye btw

Silly things ate also happening like tremors

Or just know when I picked my knife and folk up and they felt completely wrong like the werenot in the correct hands

Without booring you all with my medical history what do you think ???

Get to a doctors ASAP. If you're in or near London, go to Moorfields. It could be neurological.

Yup - A&E. Moorfields has an A&E department (if you are in London). Could be neurological, could be something physical with your eye. In either case, you don't want to mess around with it.

No point going to opticians. You need a specialist place. Get yourself to A&E, Moorfields if you're anywhere in the South East. Don't delay. or drive there!

I hope it is all ok.

Yes get to the docs needs seeing to. The tremors and bulging eye sounds like thyroid eye disease, but definately get it checked.
