For the past few days I have been seeing a white/blurry shape in front of my left eye. Hasn't bothered me too much but know it is there all the time. Today the eye feels a bit stingy too so this morning I popped into Opticians to make appt for next week but the optician said I need to be seen today so going back at 4pm. Hoping it is nothing much as it is my only good eye, very limited vision in right.
 
Hope all goes OK newbs, and that it's something easily treated, if necessary 🙂
 
Good luck with your appointment. Hope it's nothing serious.
 
Good luck with the appointment, I hope it is something easily treated and it clears up soon.
 
Fingers crossed for you 🙂
 
Hi Newbs I hope that everything is ok, it is always a big worry when you've only got decent sight in one eye. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.
 
Hope it goes well and you can get it sorted soon x
 
Thanks everyone. Feeling relieved now, eye healthy, the optician can see a floater in my eye though and thinks that is what I am seeing - more noticable to me seeing as that is my only "working" eye. He was very thorough and dilated my left eye to get a good look - at least I know it won't affect my sight and that there isn't anything else going on. Relieved.
