:cry: ok...Everythigns been going great but lately my eyes dont work well when looking at dark colors like someones black pants, even in the light...Almost all tvs, computers monitors, and indoor lighting (bathroom lights etc...) flash! Im starting to get very annoyed and have noticed a black spot in the far far left of my field of vision which I can only see by looking right and then seeing it in my left eye's peripheril vision(that one spot is pitch black and is in my left eye only)...If I rub my eyes or push on them, big dark spots show up while my eyes are closed and move to the movement of my fingers...If I move my eyes to far to the left or right, other circular dark spots, one in each eye, get bigger the farther I move them right or left. These are a vague outline, nothing as close to the black spot in my left eyes left peripheral vision...Does this ring a bell to anyone? Im thinking it could be a retinal detachment but idk...Please reply asap!

Easy Way to Cure It ( That's My Personal Guess)
I try some relaxation exercises, pls read it as follows:

to palm is to cover your closed eyes with your hands in such a way that there is no pressure on your eyeballs. The palms of your hands are slightly cupped over each eye (left over left and right over right), and usually the fingers are partly interlaced on your forehead. There should be no light, or as little as possible, allowed to enter the eye. Once you are palming, open your eyes and look around to see if you can adjust your hands in such a way as to exclude as much light as possible. Close your eyes. Try to imagine the black colour, some people had difficulties imagine about black , they see other clours , flash .. You can see something black before closing your eyes and imagine about it later

note:

palming is supposed to be relaxing, but you may end up being tight in your hands and arms in order to exclude light. Don't overdo it, and if necessary compromise. The next time you palm you may find a better position for the hands. Palming in a darkened room can be useful.

Palming positions

1. Sitting in a dining-type chair in front of a table with a stack of cushions, (or foam pads) on it. The cushions are for resting your elbows: there should be enough cushions so that you are able to easily bring your palms to your eyes without stooping forward (too few cushions), or having to look up (too many cushions). Rest your elbows on the cushions and bring your hands to your eyes. Close your eyes, rest with the darkness, and don't forget to breathe!

2. Lying on your back, with a few books under your head, and your knees up and feet flat on the floor. Bring your hands to your eyes, and start palming. The disadvantage of this is that you have to hold your arms up, which can be difficult if you want to palm for a long period.

How long should I palm?

There is no fixed answer to this question. Some people enjoy palming as soon as they first try it, while a few people never find it enjoyable. As a result there is a different answer for each person, and it can vary from day to day for the same person - it would be counterproductive to force any strict rule: vision rebels against this.

For the first time, try setting your alarm clock to ring at the end of five or ten minutes. Palm, and after the alarm goes off ask yourself if the ringing alarm left you feeling relieved.... Or annoyed! If you felt relieved, then palm for less time; you can benefit from palming for just fifteen breaths at a time. If you felt annoyed, then ..... Throw the alarm out the window.

If you one day find yourself happy to continue, then do so: you can't do too much palming if you are feeling happy.

Good luck!

Heres why, ive went to 4 doctors.....Neurologist, optomologist, a neuroptomologist(only two in my state), and a retinal specialist...This was about 4 months ago...Ive also had really bad tinitus and gone to a ear specialist and my last visit was today...My parents hate taking me to the doctors because I have had to go to so many and since the doctors didnt discover anything the first time, my parents think I worry to much and that im going to be alright cuz of seen all of them...But this just started so im wondering if anyone else is seeing the same things because I dont even want to bring up that I want to go c the eye doctor again because they just say im fine and what not...So if anyones had the same thing and know I need to go to the doctor please tell me
