Sometimes it s just a blotch.
Ceiling fan peripheral vision.
The first time it happened i went to the er but they said i just had a headache i did have one the worst i had ever had they.
It s a medical emergency.
Swirling lights interupt normal vision rspowell.
Has never lasted more that 30 minutes to and hour and once gone.
I had laser for a retinal hole almost 3 weeks ago and i have a black blind spot 4 black dots but i don t see them all of the time.
Sensitivity to objects in motion can also be seen in patients with migraine.
I ll explain a little more just in case if you have an idea what s going on and need more information.
It is something like viewing things through a rotating fan blade which would be revolving about 150 rpm.
Sometimes its peripheral sometimes the effect is in a shape like a circle directly in my line of sight.
A sudden onset of severe throbbing eye pain headaches blurred vision rainbow halos around lights red eyes nausea and vomiting.
This seems silly to bring up but otoh who knows maybe others have experienced this.
Some migraine patients get a dizzy or off balance sensation when riding in a car and seeing the scenery move by the car.
What do you mean by ceiling fan effect.
I had the peripheral vision fluttering this morning after looking at the sky for about 3 minutes just before dawn.
Some patients notice this visual discomfort when walking down an aisle at a store and seeing objects moving in their peripheral vision.
Mainly artificial light would seem to shimmer a bit.
Then when i look in the way of the shimmering it usually stops.
The thing is that sometimes my vision seems to vibrate a little mostly in my peripheral vision it seems to be happening mainly when coming from a dark area and entering a bright one but this isn t always the case.
When my eyes are in this condition it is very difficult to read because i must slow my rate of comprehension while my brain makes out words behind the flashings.
I occasionally have this flickering in my peripheral vision that is just like the shadow that a ceiling fan with a light on it throws on the ceiling.
Once i came back inside.
I have noticed that about one or two times per week during the last 4 5 months that early in the mornings i get a mild flickering of my vision.
I m not going insane i think out of the corner of my right eye i can see something that appears to be a spinning color blob my mind registers it as a ceiling fan but when i look at it it moves and there s no reflective surface that could reflect it.
Mostly when going to a dark room from light or vice versa.
It did look like ceiling fan flutter but in all corners of my vision.
Please offer some other.
I closed my eyes and watched they lasted only a minute or so but i didn t detect any spin.
There are times when i see swirling lights like a brightly lit ceiling fan mostly in my peripheral vision.
Does anyone else see flickering in their peripheral vision.
