Eye health question. Pre-edit: I am not looking here for a diagnosis, more advice on who it would be best to go to; GP? Specialist? Specsavers?
I am overdue a re-test for my bins, but I'm getting a weirder symptom than normal. Usually I know it's time for an eye test when I get more frequent migraines. They are usually triggered more when I'm tired or have been looking at a screen for too long. I get the usual loss of peripheral vision/flashy lights out fo the corner of my eyes, that kind of then, then the headache and sickness kicks in.
This time though, I have a twitching in my left upper eyelid. Probably more of a persistent flutter than a twitch. One of the regular migraines set in yesterday and has mostly gone. But now i have a blind spot, seemingly restricted to my left eye. It's like I looked at a small light for too long. That's kind of what the loss of peripheral vision is like, but this is more focused, and only in the left eye. The migraine stuff is eye-agnostic.
What do? Who see?
