I have had poor vision my whole life. My left eye has always been worse than my right. I have a high myopia in both, around -8 in my right and -11 in my left. The best it can be corrected to is 20/30 in the right and 20/40 in the left. Last year I got floaters in my left eye and so I learned to live with little black snakes in my view at all times. I went to a specialist and was told that I had detached my vetreal. Ok, I can handle that, so on may 8 of this year I noticed a big black ball obsrtucting 1/4 of my vision on the upper left eye. I assumed it was a huge floater and figured it would settle. Well, a week later 3/4 of my vision was gone in that eye and it was working its way down. Another two weeks and all of my vision was lost but I noticed in bright light I could see through the black blanket like dark sunglasses in a poorly lit room. In regular light I couldn't see a thing. By then, I was getting headaches and it was hard for my right eye to adjust. I also notice that the pupil in my left eye is considerably smaller than the right and it does not adjust to light. Now, the past few day I noticed I cannot see through this black blanket and the entire eye is extremely sore. I can't even rub my left eye because it hurts so bad. It's not swollen but it feels like it is and it feels bruised. What in the world is going on?
