Can some someone explain just WTF happened to me today?!?!

I was at school sitting in the library watching Channel 1 News when I noticed something. In my right eye I saw a strange pattern. It's hard to describe but I'll do my best. It was a little bit like when you see a little cell swimming on your eye, and then you go to look at it and it moves away, mixed with something like looking at a bright light source for too long and then the image is burned into your eye for a few seconds. It was a translucent rainbow pattern in a spiral like shape. It was flickering too. Kind of like a strobe light. It warped everything it covered. Like it was sucking in everything. Anyway this weird image grew and grew until it took over the entire vision of my right eye. Then it got so big it disappeared. After I couldn't see it anymore I had headache for about three hours... WTF HAPPENED TO ME?!?!

Maybe you are really becoming "The Mutable One":lol:

I don't know man, did you rub it in any way or something that may have caused an afterimage or something?

A parasite just entered your body via the eye, you have 20 hours to live, im sorry dude =(

or

You have gained a super power, called cancer vision =D

or

Your eyes need testing

or

It was just a glitch in your eye system, stuff happens

..cant think of anything witty to say.. :( shame. Well that sucks man. if its gone now, and you dont have any super powers, then you can jsut let it go.arab_prince

I wouldnt jump to say a brain tumour. But it may be serious man. Go check it out asap.

Any history of epilepsy in the family?Engrish_Major

Sounds like this http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/spotsfloats.htm This also happens to me all the time too although not as bad as what you described.dewman322

I'm a medical student so I feel that my opinion may mean more than some of the others in here. While I cannot be sure what it is from your description (and my limited knowledge), but I definitely wouldn't sit on it. Why take the risk? If something made you blind, even shortly,there's no way I wouldn't go get it checked.

It sounds very neurologic to me, particularly with it being one-sided and with the rainbow pattern. While not necessarily epileptic, it definitely sounds like a seizure to me (not all seizures are you shaking on the ground, etc that people typically think of). Did you smell anything funny at the time? Any oddities with speech (couldn't understand people or what you were saying didn't really make sense, etc)? You said you had a headache for a while.... where (all over, a certain part of your head) and what did it feel like?People have all sorts of weird things that go along with unilateral temporal lobe seizures; I'd go to a neurologist and see what he has to say.

I was told to look out for something like that from my optometrist. It's something about your cornea tearing. I'm not a doctor but that's what it sounds like it could be. My optometrist told me that if you see that happening, then get your eyes checked out immediately.Travo_basic

While I don't disagree with that idea, the fact that his vision is back to 100% now (at least, that's the impression I got) makes me question an actual physical defect being formed.

Did you sneeze or rub your eye previously to that happening?plague32390

Ehh, you were probably just stairing at something too long. I know if Im stairing at something, mostly daydreaming, my eyes will black out and Ill have to blink a few times to get my sight back.

Sounds like a migraine.rudyroundhead

You'ze a super freak, super freak!

I stopped reading at teh eye part. That's called a floater. It's caused by masturbation (hence you'll go blind...) and other things bad for your eyes.DisturbedChild7

it was nice to know you :cry:

j/k :P

Wow....no idea

I get those little floating things often, i find myself trying to look at them as they go past my eyes, sometimes you can follow them, most of the time you move about eyeball in the socket so ya loose them. I was at the opticians recently and my eyes are near perfect so dont worry about that.

Anyone know what causes them?

But the colours i dont know..

I get them as well and when I'm bored I sit around and try to stare at them and I look like a total freak! But It's really fun. At least I know I'm not crazy like my girlfriend says I am. *Runs to girlfriends house with link...*
