Eye Sparkles

Postby liam82 » Wed 07 Mar 2012 11:23 am

Hi there, I was just wondering if someone knew about eye sparkles (if thats even the right name)

When I look at the sunny sky, i tend to see lots of sparkly bits, I noticed it first about 6 months before I noticed any eye problems,or was diagnosed with KC.

Does anyone know what these are? Or if they are particuarly bad or just harmless?

Its like lots of light dust particles.

You are obviously worried about this, and in your place I'd pop along to my local optometrist (In Scotland they are now the first line of contact for Ophthalmology Services), explain what you see and ask whether you are right to be worried.
